More pricing fodder for discussion. Some interesting quotes;
"It's the nature of capacity-based pricing. Doubling processor speed means
doubling the price of Oracle licences, but doesn't mean twice the
performance," he explained.

Their big example was that Sun's top line server (E10000) runs half as fast
as the IBM top line server (p680), but costs twice as much to run Oracle on
(due to the UPU ratings).  Hmmm.
