Oracle's moves toward the desktop

I recently noticed two significant Oracle moves toward the desktop.

1. Oracle7 for Windows - Apparently a new product available now.
2. Project X - Available in Jan '95. Competitor of Microsoft desktop tools.

Is Oracle serious about challenging the desktop database and tools market? What are the implications? What market impact is expected?

It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
