Re: Best OS for the following...

Do you think they'll incorporate voice recognition in SSXP, like they are Office?

"Database, heal thyself" beats "recover database until time '2001-03-23:23:55:23'"

"Database, tune thyself" is going to put the likes of Steve and Jonathan out of business.

Who knows, it may even answer back, "Hey guys, that SQL syntax sucks. Care to re-enter it?"

I'd like to see that!

Rumour has it, however, that Oracle 9i will have all this -and MORE!

And incidentally, Nuno, some who know you better might say that you're just an old cynic! But that would be just a sireputable thought, I'm sure!!
