Does anybody understand what "withdrawn" means?  Why would MS withdraw these

results? Why would results which COULD be withdrawn be published in the
first 
place?

Hi John 

I cannot say that ' ...Latest tpC benchmark results - without Oracle...'  as
8 of top 10 TPC-C Results by Performance  (positions 2-7, 9,10 ) have Oracle
in the database column.

Also under ** on
http://isource.ibm.com/cgi-bin/goto?it=usa_press&on=2000070605
can see
....

**Total solution availability date estimated to be Dec. 7, 2000. Solution
specification, pricing and availability information
is subject to change without notice.

...

So we'll see in December. Hopefully there won't be any withdraws :)
