Folks,
I found this little gem:
<http://news.com.com/Oracle+lowers+price+for+some+multicore+chips/2100-1011_3-6002050.html>
The last paragraph is telling:
"We believe that this latest round of price cuts may be
indicative of pricing pressure Oracle is experiencing from
low-cost database alternatives, such as Microsoft's newly
released SQL Server 2005 and open-source offerings," Stimson
said.
As Oracle isn't known for backing down, what do you think other
reactions than lowering their prices will be?
Cheers,
D
