At $20,000 per processor for SQL Server Enterprise, the drop in Oracle
pricing couldn't come soon enough. The $20K is a trial balloon price to see
what happens in the press about the price hike. I have heard MS is going to
drop the price, probably to $10,000 per processor. That will be in most
cases a $2,000 increase in pricing for most SQL customers when you look at
the costs of CALS.

Those backending your apps with MS SQL Server might be interested in

There has been much discussion elsewhere about this development as it
comes at a time when Oracle have apparently drastically reduced their
pricing for Oracle 8i.
