Considering how Hurd has done very little to shore up its own enterprise
platforms during his tenure, I am not sure what he will do to
Sun/Oracle. Hurd grew enterprise through acquisition of EDS.

At HP, Hurd had to follow the party line
set out by the likes of Belluzzo and Fiorina,
i.e. focus on "commodity", with "enterprise"
relegated to some insignificant sideline.
Oracle/Sun otoh is focussed on "enterprise".
