Hi,
apparently the British NHS has dumped Oracle:
"One reason is to help the British government cut the amount it spends on IT, buying expensive systems from tech's big boys like Oracle.
Cost savings from dumping Oracle will come through not paying an Oracle license a maintenance fee and by consolidating the hardware."

Is it just me or does such a move seem to happen more often nowadays?
Cheers
