Poll Result: Completion of Sun Acquistion Was 2010#039;s Most Significant Java News
A plurality of voters in last week#039;s poll considered the completion of Oracle#039;s acquisition of Sun Microsystems the most significant Java-related news of 2010. But other news items also attracted considerable numbers of votes; and news that was not among the poll options was also posted in the comments section.
