It's not great news for those that want to sell software, as the value of powerful products like Oracle DB's are pushed towards zero. You do know that Oracle has provided free downloads of their full product versions for years now, right? The idea being that anyone can use it, play around with it, etc., but then needs to buy a license for a commercial application. This is just another step in that same direction -- a limited functionality version to get people used to the idea of using Oracle, so that the big $$$ licenses will come down the road later.

Nope thats a first for me, do it one and do it right and it should not matter what environment you want to put it on.. That's what I said. Unfortunately, I am not the project manager and the choice wasn't mine.

You could use .NET for both too, since the server side would do all the processing then send the client the HTML for display. Are you saying that compiled .Net will run on Linux? Also, is it possible to use .net DLLs on a Linux platform?

No, I'm saying you only need one webapp server type since .net can support non-MS client connections. Anybody that thinks you need a second *nix server to support those client types is an idiot.
