We had a small discussion yesterday about Oracle moving to Linux (possibly),
so my SA asks ... Is there any OS vendor left in the market that Uncle L
hasn't pissed off yet? Sun was dumped in favor of HP, they already pissed
off IBM because of DB/2, not dumping HP they move to Linux. So I told him
it's not just Oracle, this tends to be a trend in all businesses. Just
as there are fads in clothing (shorter hemlines, longer hemlines etc),
there seem to be fads in the right way to manage your computer
systems.
I've seen the cycle turn a number of times centralize all software and
systems,
In a previous life in the 1980s, an IBM salesman has told me a funny
story about an IBM marketing guy who was a specialist of strategy
speeches, future of IT, etc. The salesman took a customer to a
presentation once, and was very impressed by the speech in which the
marketing man was
Hi All,
I don't think anything here indicates that we are going back to hundreds

On a contrarian note with all the Larry hype aside... Linux is much more

I've seen the cycle turn a number of times centralize all
software and
systems, one data center to serve them all, standards cross-company
then suddenly it's decentralize, one big center makes no sense, we

I thought it also put a dent in HP/UX Solaris sales...easier to migrate
UNIX to Linux. I believe Amazon is a good example. For the record, I have

For a different perspective step into Larry's shoes for a minute, (O...
that's scary!)... Hmmm... the less they have to spend on servers the more
money left over to spend on me, er, my products...
Oracle will get away with their pricing as long as the competition isn't so
stiff that they
It's not a rumor, it's true...MS is letting themselves become aquired by Red
Hat, they figure that all the lawsuits will have to be dropped, and there
going to put the Windows GUI onto RH Linux. A killer combo.

Not selling my Oracle stock... yet.
now is the time to buy! it's cheap!
