Ellison's keynote: Linux, Exadata, the Governator and more

,----[ Quote ]
| First, Linux. Oracle has been in the Linux business 
| for a while now but Ellison said the company was 
| surprised by the interest in Linux. He noted that 
| the Oracleâs virtual machine will run any OS, such 
| as Windows or Solaris and, of course, Oracle 
| Enterprise Linux. What was surprising, he said, 
| were the results of an HP survey which asked 
| customers running Linux under an Oracle database 
| which Linux they were using. About 65 percent said 
| they were using Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Ellison: No MySQL spin off

,----[ Quote ]
| Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, has made it clear that he is
| not prepared to spin off Sun's MySQL business in an attempt
| to placate the European Commission investigation of
| competition issues with Oracle's planned acquisition of
| Sun. The deal has already been approved by US authorities
| and Ellison thinks that the European Commission will follow
| saying "I think once they do their job, they're going to
| come to the same conclusion".
