"The Oracle boss accepted that European regulators have a job to do but said the longer it takes the more money Sun was losing.

"Ellison, speaking to former Motorola boss and sometime Sun prez and COO Ed Zander at a Silicon Valley networking event, said: “The US took their time and deliberations and cleared it.
