As I see it Larry just reacting in his own way to the shameless marketing semi-truth from M$. I would probably react like this if somebody would do something wrongly suggesting that his product is superior to mine.
TPC test published by Redmond was done on 183 (!)SQL 7 database servers and compared with one Oracle server. If M$ would test their Access or Excell in this configuration then thay would have the same result for Access or Excell.
All Larry was saing that if you make yor real life choice, use real life tests.
I do not see him as an angel, but I applaud him for what this one. That is why he is who he is.
Way to go Larry.
