When released it won't be a secret anywhere on this planet where electricity exists. But I think very soon ... weeks not months.

You don't mean 8.1.5, 8.1.6, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2 by any chance? ;-)

Well I'm still waiting for more information about the last "stable" version ... 7.3.5. ;-)

Come on folks get over the testosterone and hyperbole. No Beta has ever been offered to all licensed users by any major software company since MS made that mistake: Once.

If you want to be a Beta site for 10.1 or 10.2 or whatever it will be what is stopping you from applying right this minute? You don't truly believe 10g is the last software release Oracle will ever have. So get down off your pedestal and ask to be included if you think you have something to offer. If you don't apply please stop crying about the fact that others made the effort.
