A plausible outcome, absent of anticompetitive activity, would be for
Microsoft to get squeezed out in the middle.
After all, people _know_ that Oracle scales to "real big systems," and
the "free systems" are providing cheaper options than either Oracle or
Sybase^H^H^H^H^H^HMicrosoft SQL Server. That would seem likely to put
pressure on anyone in the middle, which would be MSFT.
