Oracle's Unbreakable Linux not denting Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| How could any chief information officer sign up for this, especially given
| Oracle's tenuous relationship to the Red Hat product it purports to be
| supporting? Why would any CIO invest in Unbreakable Linux rather than simply
| going directly to the source, Red Hat?

| competition than expected. But the hatters’ new nemesis in a new space is a

Oracle Counters Microsoft's .Net Initiative
,----[ Quote ]
| Countering the .Net initiative that bitter rival Microsoft Corp. announced
| earlier this year, Oracle Corp. last week released software for use in
| developing and managing online services.

| In a swipe at Microsoft, which doesn't expect to deliver a full portfolio of
| its .Net-based technologies for two years or more, Oracle is informally
| referring to its Oracle9i Dynamic Services software as .Now.

Red Hat CEO: Oracle/BEA Deal is Helping Us
,----[ Quote ]
| Business continues to be good at open source vendor Red Hat despite the
| economic slowdown in the U.S. Part of the good times at Red Hat are the
| result of new product introductions that are helping to grow revenues and
| part comes from the actions of others, in particular Oracle.
|
| During Red Hat's first quarter fiscal 2009 conference call, Red Hat CEO Jim
| Whitehurst outlined his company's financial performance and credited the
| Oracle acquisition of BEA as being a driver for Red Hat's revenue growth.
