i think tumbleweed is right. most of the additional sales to the 11i business suite will come in later quarter. the first thing they had to do was getting 11i up and running for their customers first. they said more than 1/2 of their current customers have already upgraded. in any case, the future quarters should see an increase in new application sales because of an installed 11i base and the new sales force reorganization. orcl, imo, will be the bellweather for tech going forward. rocky.

I listened to the CC and it turns out that they aren't forcing upgrades to 11i, they are just desupporting 10.7. They will still support 11, which is a fairly old release. Henley said that he thought that 10.7 was over 6 years ago, and if so, it doesn't seem exactly "hasty" to stop supporting it at this point.
