MICROSOFT IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR

Ellison's now aiming at software giant Microsoft, the most highly valued company in the world. ``I think it's possible to pass them in market capitalization this calendar year,' he said.

>>>THAT is one Bold statement. That would give ORCL a price of around $$$170-180!! But who am I to doubt him, ORCL IMO is by far the best tech stock to own today. Its on a roll and will continue for the next 5 years at the least.:)<<<

That in itself would be staggering, analysts said, as a clear sign of the shift from the world of the PC to a world of powerful computer servers and hundreds of millions of information appliances all connected to the Internet. It also makes Ellison heir apparent to title of richest man in the world now held by Bill Gates, Microsoft's Chairman.

The market value of Microsoft, founded two years before Oracle in 1975, now stands at about $517 billion, making it the most valuable company in the world. Cisco, the largest maker of gear that powers the Internet, ranks second at $492 billion
