Rocky - Do you know that the Oracle RAC technology is based on clustering from Compaq, specifically the Alpha boxes? Compaq, as part of the deal, agreed to develop a version for the Intel platform but I don't think that work is complete.

Given what is happening to Alpha, perhaps Larry's remarks are more a comment on industry consolidation than the fate of big boxes per se.
