And for those of you that have not yet been able to get your hands on it here are some useful nuggets of info:

The big WOW factor with this release of Weblogic is that it will fully support JEE ( java 6 )
And if you have been following the presentations by oracle over the last few months you will notice they are
stating it will have the following major benefits:
Optimisation of source code and Integration with the Hardware stack making it run - MUCH FASTER
Benefits of the Fusion product set and integration with THE CLOUD
Improved reliability, scalability and productivity.

Now I have had 20 minutes first looks around this and it feels like classic weblogic from the backend but more refined and grown up from the front end user interfaces.
I do not see rapid adoption but rather a slow start move towards this version gaining pace as time gets more toward end of 2012 as there will be many out there running J2EE application servers on very old JDK's that over time will realise the benefits to moving to Java 6 JEE especially when they start to see others getting good results and more familier with the 1.6 JDK only then will they start to really leverage the BIG benefits it brings.
