I am impressed by their earnings. Check this out from the PR. But as usual in this market, people want perfection. ""This quarter's numbers are even more impressive when you factor out currency fluctuations," said Oracle Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Henley.

Total license growth increased 32%. That's stellar growth for a company our size. Add the fact that it took us just two years to double operating margins and more than double profits, and you have a measure of the strength of our business."
