    Proprietary software is dying. Larry Ellison knows that. That's why he's been buying up Open Source companies like Sleepy Cat and Inno DB and made evaluation versions of orcale free (as in cheapskate). The next step is to move into the hardware business and open source their code. Will it work? I don't know. But I do know the idle section sucks and shaved pussy is hot. Larry didn't get rich by being stupid. With their linux distro and linux FS (btrfs, which has ZFS-like features), I expect they'll try a takeover attempt of red Hat someitme in 2009.
