It wasn't originally their product. It came with the Sun Microsystems acquisition. Sun themselves acquired Virtualbox close to selling to Oracle. Sun never monetized their products well, hence their demise.
Sun and SGI were once profitable but once Linux gained traction it was over. They had no option to be assimilated by the Borg.

yep, same. Oracle can die in a fire.
And who would take their place moving Java forward? Since Sun went down, it hardly goes over 10% of external contributions, and no one else cared about getting hold of Java 6.

Oracle was responsible for my first complaint, while I was doing my first internship in the US. Because once I used my private laptop with the VirtualBox Extension Pack while connected to the work network. The incredible legal/licensing team got in touch because they identified this use. Since than I avoid Oracle like plague.
I guess I’ll eventually dual boot, but it would nice to have iMessage as an alt-tab.

github.com/cirruslabs/tart is a command-line tool which makes this whole VM thing very easy on MacOS starting with Ventura.
Is there an equivalent of this for Intel Macs?
I'm honestly not sure why a CLI tool would make that restriction, or if it even is a true restriction rather than an error in documentation.
In any case, vftool is another CLI and works fine on Intel Macs, but has not yet been updated for graphical VMs.
Still by law firm ORACLE; this software thing is just a side business to extract licence fees out of companies that thought they could use this for free.
VS Ultimate, SQL Server, AEM, Sitecore, SharePoint, Azure, AWS,...

So both java and oracle die. Seems like a double win.
Maybe Google or Amazon could come up with GoSpring as well.
