By the way, Oracle's CFO, Jeff Henley, had this to say back in October, but I haven't heard anything from him since. I suspect he got a great deal of flack from the rest of the tech industry over his statement. And I don't know whether Larry authorized his statement. The live link to the statement on Yahoo no longer works, but I posted his satement on a couple of threads at the time: Since when do Larry and company care about the rest of the tech industry? Larry predicted the demise of 1000 tech firms which was purely a scare tactic to push more sales to Oracle and the industry knows it. I really don't think there is a huge right wing conspiracy out there trying to squelch options expensing Hueyone. The problem is the proposed changes are too extreme for the largest growth industry in the US. Profit to loss, for many of the huge successful companies. Some companies that have done an offshore dump of R&D already (like Oracle) can benefit from expensing and the total upheaval of the model. But that is the minority.
