Oh, I'm watching Oracle - like a hawk. Oracle, Siebel, SAP, i2, Ariba and Commerce One seem to the ones we should watch like hawks. Now, if we rip out their core product modules and niche specialty's and just look at the B2B thing what do we get? Is it a level playing field that the tornado can carry all along?

There's been a lot of vision from them. For a short time honeymoon - I think we will continue to see a lot of money moving in and out and to and fro with each major 'deal' announcement. Commerce One/Chrysler, Seibel/IBM, Oracle/Ford, etc... . I have to assume this is going to settle down at some point in the future and we can get back at looking at the growth numbers and 10-Q's/10-K's to see whose vision is seeing clearly. In the meantime, I expect a lot of volatility in all of them such as i2 experienced this week.

For the B2B game, what are we to do? Buy a basket? I guess our two little incubators - ICGE and SFE should not be overlooked.

Thoughts much appreciated.
