Ellison hones his 'Art of War' tactics | |

Playing nice is not in the Larry Ellison rule book. This a guy who hired investigators to go Dumpster-diving through Microsoft supporters' garbage. He's even reported to have flown his plane under the Golden Gate Bridge. | ||

>>> He's even reported to have flown his plane under the Golden Gate Bridge
Yeah, but he didn't do it while inverted. |

My gut feel is that Oracle buying Peoplesoft is a bad move.
It's much like Novell buying WordPerfect... this puppy is going to lose value and drag Oracle with it. |

The problem is, except for Microsoft, the enterprise software market is all but completely dried up. Hardly any company is buying SAP, Seibel, PeopleSoft, Oracle 9i app services, etc anymore.
OTOH, People are buying Windows 200x Advanced and DataCenter Server, SQL Server, Exchange, etc. Why is that? So Oracle buying PeopleSoft is like Arthur Anderson buying Enron. It doesn't matter because they're both extinct or dying. |

daz - "Hardly any company is buying SAP, Seibel, PeopleSoft, Oracle 9i app services, etc anymore. "
then "OTOH, People are buying Windows 200x Advanced and DataCenter Server, SQL Server, Exchange, etc. Why is that? " Uhh, these are different markets. SAP, Seibel, Peoplesoft, etc are vertical markets. They serve a specific purpose. The other products from Microsoft you mention are horizontal general purpose infrastructure markets that you leverage to create vertical solutions. "So Oracle buying PeopleSoft is like Arthur Anderson buying Enron. It doesn't matter because they're both extinct or dying. " I think it's a bad move, but I don't think it's that bad of a move. |

#2 - "Why is he a moron, and why desperate?"
Maybe because he is willing to endanger the lives of innocent bystanders to get his rocks off? |
