Amazing how different people can find different negative spins on something - when Oracle charged more for dual core, people whined about "it's only one CPU, and they charge more", now they whine about it the other way around.

Proves the old adage

"you might be able to please people some of the people some of the time, but DBAs will always find something to whine about"

<sigh>
