I think that you may not be aware of all of the things that ORCL is doing to be able to hype themselves as an internet company. That's the normal explanation that people give for the P/E that ORCL has -- that they have solid revenues in databases and they are positioned to capitalize on the internet economy. One example of this is the deal with Ford. As far as I can tell, this is what is getting people excited about ORCL, and is perhaps the reason that they aren't getting excited about IFMX.
