Title: Oracle vs. Exchange

Well, I have two comments on it.   1)       I like how he complains that Exchange Server is so expensive.  That’s pretty funny in itself considering the price of Oracle. 2)       If this is just an IMAP4 server, can you even do things with the Calendar like scheduling meetings?   A lot of the times I find Ellison amusing when he is bashing Microsoft, but this one seems pretty ridiculous.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 10:14 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Oracle vs. Exchange   I've seen some discussions of this on other lists.  The general consensus is that once again, Ellison just likes to hear himself talk.     -----Original Message----- From: Allen Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 8:05 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Oracle vs. Exchange I'm not usually a big defender of Microsoft, but I thought this article was a little off-base.  Ellison claims that an Exchange Server can only handle 250-500 Outlook users.  Seems like a lot of his numbers are exaggerated to me.  Thought others might find this interesting if you haven't already read it. http://www.eweek.com/article/0,3658,s%253D1884%2526a%253D18330,00.asp List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
