OFF TOPIC Re: Oracle>> Why does the Oracle debacle(and Larry Ellison/Scott Mcneally) remind me of Jim Manzi(Lotus),Philipe Kahn(Borland) et al, who went against Microsoft and Bill G personally? Iam not a big Microsoft fan, but they made it very clear that they want to repeat on the Enterprise back office software, what they did on the desktop(by creating MS office suite, putting Lotus 1-2-3, dBase etc out of business). That means bad news for DBMS companies for sure, unless the Dept. of Jusice law suit put some real reigns on Microsoft. Regards Clayton
