Oracle article announcing 9i and halving price.

<snip>
ORCL has finally delivered the long-promised upgrade to its key database product, along with a price cut that it hopes will keep the expensive software competitive with offerings from IBM and Microsoft.
Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison on Thursday announced that the company will soon ship a revision to its key database product, called 9i, and also told customers that the company was changing its controversial pricing model.
During a launch at the company's headquarters in Redwood Shores, California, the company showed off new features of 9i, such as increased clustering capabilities, improved business intelligence functions and additional management components. Oracle says the new product is more powerful and more reliable than past versions.
The new product will compete against IBM's DB2 and Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 database, which have both gained ground on Oracle lately.
Halving Cost
But Oracle users may respond most favorably to the new pricing set-up. The company is moving to a processor-based pricing model, dropping its controversial universal power unit, which calculates not only the number of processors, but takes the power of the CPUs into account.
