G'day all - 1st, I don't own NOVL [yet,] although I hope to get some cheap shares if the general market tanks <g>. However, I doubt either ORCL or LU is likely [possible, yes, but probable, doubtful.]

With regard to ORCL, PJ has given a good argument, but I take it from a slightly different angle. Since ORCL is larger than NOVL, therefore, Ellison will be the head honcho. Consequently, Dr Schmidt is the odd man out [also, Mr Lane is still around <g>]

For LU, it is an entirely different set of problems. NOVL, especially of its NDS thrust, must remain a neutral partner with all the datanetworkers. If it takes the vow with LU, it can be seen as competitor in the eyes of CSCO, NT etc.

best, Bosco
