Oracle could have 10,000 developers on front-office, but it wouldn't matter. These guys *still* don't know how to sell business applications. I had Oracle in my shop this week to demonstrate their financial budgeting package and multi-dimensional decision support offering. I was amazed at how inept they were -- didn't have a clue about even the most basic business need. Everytime I've reviewed Oracle apps, the sales and presales guys dropped the ball. I've always thought they had competitive products, but they've never understood the apps market. They continue to sell apps like they sell databases.

If Larry were smart, he would sell the application division to a company that knows what it's doing. Larry will screw-up the apps organization as long as he anything to do with it.
