Actually not. Having spent the past weekend building RAC nodes and working on the differences between RAC and grid I can assure you that they are very substantial. There is not only no farce ... there is a technological improvement here that is incredible.

The NDA, or perhaps my fear of it, prevent me from going into detail. But the differences are very significant: At least as large as OPS to RAC and that was a complete rearchitecture. Grid will do things that couldn't even be conceived of under OPS and is a huge extension from RAC. This isn't just another dumb name change (and you should all know I am the first to criticize them) this is phenomenal.
