In a letter to Sun employees, CEO Jonathan Schwartz spreads the praise around the organization and encourages staff who will stay with the company to look ahead.

"For those that have roles at Oracle, may you start with a clean slate, ready to take on the myriad opportunities ahead. With the same passion and tenacity for Oracle's success that you've had for Sun's, and a renewed sense of energy around executing on a far broader mission."

Oh well, so much for complete sentences.
