RE: Oracle and Tru64

I can confirm that Tru64 is quite alive and well at Oracle, no desupport seen in the future. In fact there are new efforts going into Tru64 RAC. Even when the alpha goes away there is an effort to port Tru64 to the intel platform, but who knows where that is going with the merger :)

I'd never heard that Oracle has stopped or is stopping support for Tru64.
We have more than 35 production databases on Tru64 and have no intention of moving out of Alpha-Tru64 in a hurry. We're even looking at upgrading a mission critical
8iOPS cluster on Tru64 to 9iRAC on Tru64.
