What I found interesting was this quote from the article in the OP...
++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Some analysts believe buying Sun has undermined sales of Ellison's software because it put Oracle in direct competition with hardware makers who had long been some of the biggest resellers of his database programs and other products.
"They made a mistake getting into the hardware business. How it resolves itself, I'm not really sure," said Fred Hickey, who has been monitoring Oracle since the 1980s and is editor of the High-Tech Strategist Newsletter for investors."

I would say ask DEC (Digital Equip. Corp) what happens when it tries to sell their own db engine as well as that of their competitors (in this case: Oracle)... Received on Tue Mar 20 2012 - 19:11:38 CDT
