How comprehensive is the switch at Oracle?

I found this reference on the 'net:
Oracle is even taking its own advice. By the end of this year the company expects it will have moved its 45,000 employees to a strictly Linux-based e-mail database system.

http://siliconvalley.internet.com/news/article.php/1276851 This is an older article dating back to June 2002.

I remember Larry Ellison declaring earlier that he was going to switch his corporation's Oracle Applications to LINUX as well. I haven't seen any comments / updates on that move on the 'net since.

Are they moving their whole corporate infrastructure to LINUX?
