only the executives at oracle get options. Now before you nitpick with me and tell me that Hardly and a few others on SI have options at Oracle, let me tell you that I know that. But that is a very rare case. I'll bet if you look very hard at where those options went in the years you cite... the majority went to 5 or so guys at the top (just a guess, I think I'm right though).

Oracle doesn't have the big US-based R&D operation that requires options to succeed. They outsourced a huge amt of their development organization to india, this was in the 97-2000 timeframe.

One way to tell that a company has started outsourcing is that they stop acquiring new bldgs in California. Oracle hasn't added to their Redwood Shores headquarter campus in years.
