I had trouble parsing this due to the "typo", but I am guessing that you want a database as easy to use as a spreadsheet -- in any event, it would be nice if they were easier to use. I think that the biggest problem isn't the administration, although even that is very hard at the moment, but just getting at the data. In any event, if I had to choose between MSFT and anyone else for innovation in, well almost anything, I would pick "anyone else". So I would say that ORCL has a better chance than MSFT at making databases that are easier to use, once they decide that this is important.
