Richard, are you telling me that you believe ORCL would recommend MSTR over their own tools? Same for PSFT? Having worked at ORCL, I can tell you they have 'relationships' with every tool vendor. Same from MSTR's side. Then they can put that on their marketing literature. Doesn't stop them for one minute from pushing their own tools first. Kind of like calling an airline for tickets to some destination. If they have a connecting flight, they want to carry your traffic. If not, they'll take you on the first leg and then look for secondary carriers other than themselves. These are hardly monogamous 'relationships'. Will be a mute point today anyway with MSTR at $15...
