I shared a perspective about my excitement at the opportunity and challenges--- for the good folks at Oracle in terms of business model and strategy... on acquisition of a product that was till now open source. Personally I feel the opportunity to innovate on a business model and technology-- with total unconstrained freedom-- is a exciting challenge and opportunity-- notwithstanding any queasiness I and many more may have about Oracle's intentions. --- Gora wrote: > >Customer discontent?

I respect your age, seniority and qualifications but even you better refrain from such personal attacks-- and limit yourself to debating and/or criticising the idea rather than degrading a individual's caste or ethnicity.
