One less hypervisor?

Mike forwarded a link which linked to an article in The Register which claims that Oracle is in the process of killing Virtual Iron which they acquired recently, this would have the interesting consequence of making Oracle the #3 hyper visor in the marketplace.
With the purchase of Sun by Oracle comes yet another set of virtualization technologies, developing a coherent strategy leveraging the best of breed from all three could be the path they are taking, I hope that they provide a seamless migration path for all three existing user bases otherwise there will be a large exodus to VMware and Microsoft for sure.
