Bravo Oracle, it's about time that they took a real stand against
Microsoft.
Let's face it, Microsoft has tried to walk off with a huge portion of
the Oracle market with SQL Server.
Oracle has been a big supporter of Linux for years, but this is one of
the first times I've seen a report of them actually standing up to
Microsoft and saying "this is a Linux ONLY feature".
I'd like to see IBM take a similar stand, but so far, they haven't
even been able to meet Sam's commitment to have all desktops switched
to Linux (as primary OS) by the end of 2007.
The software is there, and the contracts are there, but the will
doesn't seem to be there.
