>> about 1/4 of their revenue comes from each of: database, software (Oracle Financials, tools, etc.), consulting services (at their traditional minimum-wage costs <G>), and educational services (Oracle University). Well, if you took away the database and tools sales, consulting and educational services for those lines would disappear. True for Applications as well. The downside is that services are very labor intensive; the upside is that they generate lots of revenue, and help to build customer relationships. I think that if you look at most large software companies in the applications space, or even SYBS or IFMX, you'd see a similar mix. In short: that observation is nothing unique or so special.
