If MSFT wants to get into the high end of databases, why not invest or buy these companies? I don't think, as a political matter, that Gates can buy anybody who looks like they can dominate in their market. Just too much potential hassle from the DOJ. I saw this happen when I was with P&G in the 50's. They bought Clorox and had to get rid of it, because the DOJ said that P&G was too good at marketing, and would take too much business. This is the kind of nonsense that goes on with the anti-trust laws.
