In order to sell to a lot of sites, Oracle must be as user-friendly to install as Microsoft products are. I totally agree that doesn't seem fair, but I don't think Oracle can change that rule. The future will be controlled by people that think you must have a mouse to control a computer.

My only gripe about OUI is: Why did they spend soo much on a tool we use soo seldomly and why did they have to make it so that I have to have an Xterminal or emulator. The old character based one was just jim dandy & it worked fine especially from home. (OK, so I have 2 gripes).

	Ok, we all agree about OUI... but, real questions are:
	
	Why does oracle insist on such crappy product? WHO is making such
stupid
	decisions within Oracle? After all, making installer work is not
rocket
	science at all?
	
	Another rant... pointless, of course...
	
	Beside OUI, why did they port OEM to java? I have fairly good PC
(512MB RAM,
	733MHx PIII, fast HD, etc. etc.) but oem works slooow, to slow. I
rememebr
	OEM in Oracle 8.0.5 that was VC++ app, and it rocked.
