Time will tell. But it appears that Larry burned quite a few bridges in the past few months. Those third party Oracle apps(SAP, Peoplesoft, etc) were bringing in easy money for Oracle. Building up the applications side of Oracle is a good thing, but you dont jump up on the highest pedstal, beat your chest and insult your, direct or in-direct, partners...like I said, time will tell.

Any comment on the following:

IBM enlists ISVs in war against Oracle

Strategic alliances with independent software vendors have helped IBM gain new
customers for its DB2 database software. IBM also appears to be getting help from an unlikely source: Oracle Corp.

Personally, I believe they've hit the nail straight on the head.
