No it didn't. I've been in this industry since 1969. Oracle uses Sun as a reference platform. Does that mean everyone goes out and buys Sun hardware? Of course not. I happen to be running AIX 5L thank you very much.

The other thing that has not escaped me is the ability to obfuscate, change the topic, bob, weave, and dance at the heretical thought that DB2 is not significantly better, or worse than one of its competitors. I find that sad.
