Wow. Interesting.

• IBM: "PHP is a great way to do web dev"
• Oracle: "Hmm, let's buy it"
• IBM: "Do we fight for it? Or backtrack and say that Ruby on Rails is the way?"

It will be interesting to see if all of these purchases go through. VC's want to make money back from their investments... so as long as Oracle is ready to pay, it probably will happen, no?

I am kicking myself, as I had the chance to join one of these guys recently ;)
