Re: Ellison waves goodbye to client server

Actually it needn't cause them hassle.

ms world could look like

MS-Datacenter server (running sql server natch) MS Application farms (running dcom objects to do the application work, MSMQ server coming in here)
MS Terminal Server - to provide backend services for thin clients Thin terminal (winCE even?)

Is that horrible enough yet?
