I just love the very last paragraph. It reflects exactly my
impressions. The big players got an eye on open-source.
What confuses me a little is that Microsoft's marketing
department wasn't able to stop this stupid thing. Why do they
help us to get so much public attention? Oracle's attempt
just to say "we don't see any real competition ..." was IMHO
alot smarter.
