RE: [U2] Cost of Oracle vs PICK

Yes, UO.NET becomes a fully managed assembly. It will make deployment a bit easier because there is a .msm merge module. If you should/shouldn't hold off depends on what is important to you. I like not having to register com objects, need another separate install procedure, etc., but you might
