Oracle is becomming as bad a corporate citizen as Enron. They really are a liberal Democrat's wet dream for political scape-goating.

Isn't this the company that makes vacuums?

I think I saw Ellison on TV hawking his product. Something about try it free for 30 days and if you don't like it I'll refund your money. (just joking)

Becoming? When were thaya good "corporate citizen?" A pack of bandits is what they are.

You would think Oracle was Microsoft. Wasn't Oracle part fo the cabal that went after MS with the Reno INjustice department?

Are they trying to become a MONOPOLY???????

Reminds me of when AutoDesk (think AutoCAD) bought up Generic Cadd. GCADD had a great product that they sold for a very low price, as opposed to AutoDesk's incredibly inflated prices. GCADD would do nearly all of what you wanted to for around $100. Autodesk's AutoCAD was over ten times higher. And GCADD was selling, with over 100,000 users.

Solution? AutoCAD bought Generic CADD, put out one update, then killed it. "Low end" users were stuck with AutoCAD Lite, an inferior product that sold for at least $400.

This is an old game in the software business.

the real proplem is that they are liberal democarats who use the oldest forms of arm twisting to get business. Take a look at the cancalled state of California deal. They pour money into hidden deals to "Win" business that should go elsewhere.

Q: Do you know what the difference is between Larry Ellison and God?

A: God knows he's not Larry Ellison.

I've never liked Oracle or Ellison. Ellison is a big proponet of the government tracking all kinds of personal info on citizens in massive databases (databases, which of course would be running Oracle software)
