Technology Stocks : Oracle Corporation (ORCL) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I think that there is some truth to this. It's basically the same thing that people like Ellison have been saying for a long time. If you read email over the net, for example, you may upgrade your browser once in a while, but the web site can upgrade their sites once a month and it doesn't hurt you a bit (as long as they test their own stuff). So I think that companies like MSFT will be hurt by this. It's less relevant to ORCL, since buying a new version of the database isn't the same thing as getting the latest release of Office.
