Microsoft is approcimately 2/3rds the price for standard and 1/2 the price for EE IIRC. It also has about 80-90% of the functionality of Oracle. Oracle Std Edition One addresses all those single cpu servers you use on production systems.....
It wasn't just bad ms marketing that saw me advocating them in SA, Oracle really needs to wake up to the fact that it has a hideously overpriced product for 90% of the businesses out there. Std Edition One pricing is what Std Edition should be selling at IMO.
