Should we begin talking about what will happen to Oracle after California is hit by a major earthquake?. Don´t think so. Well, we can, but it´s of little value. Only scares people away.

NOTHING coming from Oracle indicates that they want to "get rid" of the product, it´s only in a few people´s imagination. It´s like boarding a plane and start "well, what will happen now that this airline has been bought by another larger one? do you think they have had enough money to give this plane proper maintenance? Will this airline continue flying? I don´t think so. Look at their numbers... in fact, if this plane crashes, ...." It´s useless talk that only helps scare people away... FC
