Oracle offer 1 million dollars for Benchmarks

Guy Coates sent us a summary of Larry Ellison's Comdex speech:" He will give anyone 1 million dollars if a) Anyone can publish a benchmark for Microsoft SQL server, period. b) Get SQL server to run less than 99 times more slowly than oracle database. Quote; "If oracle is only 70 times faster, we will pay you 1 million dollars."" I want a million dollars! But you'd have to pay me almost that much just to convince me just to use MS SQL again, much less benchmark it.
