Here is the confirmation that Egghead.com is going Oracle soup to nuts. I'd love to see some evidence that they turned away MS and their offer of $500K to "let us fix it": biz.yahoo.com The interesting paragraph from the release is: ''We set Egghead on a new course, to focus its business exclusively on Internet-based commerce,'' explains George Orban, chairman and CEO of Egghead.com. ''That put extensive demands on our existing infrastructure, making it clear we needed a more reliable, scalable and secure technology solution. Technology now lies at the heart of all we do, and Oracle was able to demonstrate a complete, end-to-end solution, essential for Egghead.com's customer service standard and future growth.'' Oracle has a real-world end-to-end solution that can scale to handle a growing business. Microsoft has marketing hype and dollars to throw at customers who believe the hype and get burned. -Michael
