You said: Orcle will file a suit against MSFT to prevent MSFT putting SQL server 7 into the market I think it more likely that Oracle will sue Microsoft to try to force MSFT to include the Oracle-specific extensions to the ANSI SQL standard and to take out the MS SQL Server ones. <grin>

Regarding Orcl filing a suit against msft, What do you guys think of msft pre-installing sql server on NT 5 on the Dell servers? They probably will not be allowed to do that right? As an enterprise person Ive always been completely in the dark about the Nscp vs. Msft browser wars. But now, I fear it will play out again for Orcl vs. Sql server. The thing that is hard to gauge for me, is that I think the partnership of msft and Dell is the real threat to Oracle, not so much NT itself. If Sun was as good as Dell at the commodity hardware game, then Oracle/unix might have a chance. Luck is really on msft's side when it comes to alliances. Michelle
