And yet Oracle still doesn't cite "competitive inroads made by Microsoft" as a challenge to their database business. Now that is the biggest joke, in my opinion. Talk about Larry's ego!
Most recently, Microsoft said it was "ahead of plan" in Asia.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) on track for Southeast Asia
Reuters, Friday, November 21, 1997 at 18:17
REDMOND, Wash., Nov 21 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp expects
to have no problem meeting its sales goals for southeast Asia
in the current 1998 fiscal year, despite economic turmoil in
the region, a company executive said Friday.
Blas Garcia-Moros, regional director for southeast Asia,
said in an interview that the company is ahead of plan so far
this fiscal year, which began July 1, 1997.
He declined to give dollar figures, but said sales rose 50
percent year-on-year in the first quarter against 65 percent in
fiscal 1997. Microsoft's plan calls for sales growth of less
than 50 percent in the six country region this year. |
