...make sense of what oracle is trying to achieve by purchasing PSFT... Either Ellison has popped his cork or he's shrewder than a fox. Personally, I'd vote for the latter. I think he knows that this deal will never go through, so he can up the bid for PSFT to the moon and stars with impunity. All this thrashing and manipulating and lawsuits (and counter suits) is going to trash PSFT's business, and that's Ellison's true motive, IMO. He, along with McSquealy and a few others, tried to use the govt and courts to get MSFT. IMO, he's using this takeover "attempt" to try to waste PSFT. Kill the competition with whatever means are available. Dog eat dog...
