Java was originally Sun Microsystems.

However - if Java was Oracle to begin with (and as successful in the mid-90s) then might have done some marketing for the Java+Oracle mix.

Some people (ie Managers) if they decide on using Microsoft products will likely "encourage" the use of C# and .NET. -- That is an example of C# + Sql Server.

Anyway, for the sake of the argument: "I am using Java. Need a server machine - should it be SPARC?". It makes nearly as much sense.
