Not fluff once you get beyond the intro. The very first thing after that is "Rapidly deliver Java SE 7 with many new features" and there are lots of hard specifics about all sorts of things. While I haven't read it it all yet (only overviews) it looks good.
In the area I'm watching, they have for JVMs "Run natively on Hypervisors" and for Sun Ops Center "'Bare Metal' OS and Hypervisor Provisioning".
Worth a look if you care about the future of Java (bleah) or languages that run on top of JVM (yeah!).
I thought due to the headline indicating java, that maybe it just wasn't about MySQL, but I too find the lack of mention quite shocking. I don't use MySQL, but if I did, I'd be concerned about an upcoming lack of support for the platform. I wonder if Oracle will replace it with a free version of Oracle.
I like Oracle. Lots don't, but I find it to be quite scalable and robust. I don't like it's lack of support for database standards though.
