Well, Let's see. It looked like Win2000 for the most part, acted like Win2000
only better & faster. Their Office look alike package (little different in feel
but not functionality) worked like Office2000 just a little faster. And to boot

In a free market system nobody should
look at the negative side when people make
money off of their hard work or investments.
This is the way it is set up.

As the story was related to me, Ellison has been living off of loans (from
banks, not Oracle) for the past couple decades. His alleged reasoning was
that
A lot of the current problem goes back to government intervention. Some
politicians/bureaucrats complained that CEO salaries were too high or unfair
and (as if they were fit to judge) they decided to "control" the high CEO
salary "problem" via taxation. So guess what happened? Corporate boards fel

down gradually
A new boat, Ferrari, Mig fighter jet, mansion, maybe some Japanese art...
the man has some serious expenses. Seriously, I know that Oracle had a
problem with shady accounting practices many years ago (late 80's, if I
recall correctly). Their stock took a huge hit, and they cleaned up their

Instead, what you see is people defending the social privileges of the

Eric,
Have you considered the POSSIBILITY that Larry sold the stock without the
benefit of insider trading, and simply got lucky with his timing? After
all, the main reason Oracle stock has lost so much value is not due to
problems specific to the company, but due to problems in the market and
