Oracle Embraces Mozilla

kiggs writes "According to this article from eWeek, Oracle Corp. is ready to extend its 'Linux Everywhere' campaign to client systems. At next week's LinuxWorld in New York, Oracle will announce that it will enable the Mozilla open-source Web browser to run Oracle applications in the coming year. Dave Dargo, vice president of Oracle's Linux Program Office and the Performance Engineering team within its Platform Technologies Division, says that Oracle will look to expand its 1.5-year-old Linux support program by supporting Linux not just as a server but as a client."

  1. Whats wrong with IE? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    What is wrong with IE? Most used, most reliable, fastest, and most innovotive browser around.

    Don't bother with these other strange browsers, we don't need them, and don't waste YOUR time.

    IF it wasnt for MS, we wouldn't be using the web today, because PCs would still be very difficult to use and there would be no software.

    Thank you bill Gates, we ALL owe you a beer.

    I knew that Mozilla overbloated (kitchen sink anyone?), but including Oracle DB is a bit overkill I think...

    And maybe Bill will drown in all that free beer!

    <rms>No, no, you're missing the point. It's about free speech, not free beer. Why can't you stupid GNU/Linux people ever understand that? Half the time you don't even put the GNU before Linux. Just you wait, in only ten years HURD will be an almost-usable kernel and you'll see. YOU'LL SEE!!</rms>
