The company announced Monday a tie-up with Sun Microsystems Inc. Ellison's comments appeared aimed at emphasizing Oracle's plan to form alliances to fight Microsoft Corp. for dominance of the computer market. Oracle is a leading proponent of network computing, under which users activate applications software via the Internet from servers running a Sun Microsystems operating system.
