Title: RE: News flash - IBM buys Informix
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. –– Hoping to reassure skittish customers, Oracle Corp. is guaranteeing to install a complex piece of online business software in 90 days or the company will give the product away.

The Redwood Shores-based software company will introduce the new promise Tuesday under a new marketing campaign called "The War on the Complexity," CEO Larry Ellison said Monday during a 90-minute meeting with reporters.

The pledge amplifies on Oracle's efforts to build upon its leadership in database software to sell more products that help companies automate a wide range of sales and administrative chores.

It also represents the latest in a long history of marketing gimmicks for Oracle, which is trying to dominate Internet software like archrival Microsoft Corp. does personal computer software.

It has been announced today that IBM has purchased Informix. See your local
tech news service later today for details.

Hmmmm. Wonder what Larry thinks about this?


Cheers,
