biz.yahoo.com Brilliant! What I do absolute admire about Oracle's strategy is that all the pieces fit like a puzzle. Without any redundancy, which was a crime in the client-server age. The database in the middle on a Raw Iron-server, the business-apps build around the database like CRM, ISCM, ERP and others. On top of that a simple, flexible and easy to use protal-strategy. And the whole concept will be centralized on hugh server-farms, concentrating the necessary knowledge and expertise. All accessible through simple browser on Network Computers (or cheap 500-dollar Net-PC's. Same principle. What's in a name like Shakespear said) So much better than Bill's "shoot at everything that moves, we'll integrate the rubbish later and spent a few million on advertising to sell the rubbish"-strategy that Microsoft is using. Well, strategy...... Never mind! Oracle is and will be hot for many, many quarters and years to come. And I even expect decades. This is an adult-concept that can hold for a very, very long time. And it will also bring us consolidation in the software industry. That is a good thing and means quality! Still waiting for the Raw Iron-card (Compaq/Digital/Tandem) and they should think about integrating a geograhical component. In simple words; If I type book-store into a search- machine I would really appreciate to see the ones next to where I live. Not 465798002 hits found. Also teaming up with AskJeeves, like US Web is doing to query the exponential growing content of companies in a natural language, would be a logical move. I can hardly find anything on our internal intranet. Any product that can help me find things faster is improving production and making "shared knowledge" more accessible. Paul
