The Open Road topics
I believe what is really happening is Oracle trying to further commoditise other parts of the stack. This might lead to further account control and take more of the customer's budget for proprietary technologies to further lock the customer in.
In the meantime Oracle cannot deliver the Value customers really want in the Operating System space. The only way is to do it properly - not with a copy of a copy. What's the Oracle roadmap for Linux ? Is Oracle really willing to step up & invest in doing it's own version of Linux and be able to give a roadmap ? You can't be half pregnant.

(4 Comments)Please only comment on articles when you don't work for a company refuting the article. The fact you sent out an Advertisement for a product, on an unbiased web page tells me you are probably setting behind a computer in India getting a paycheck from Oracle. That is unfair to all consumers.
