you're kidding me? Mac OS X is going to take over windows? oh man..that's good stuff...LOL...I bet everyone at Redmond is terrified of OS X....
Solaris...LOL...LOL...LOL..Sun will be lucky to survive as a company in the coming year. McNeally has run that business with some monkeys, an abacus, and a dart board.
I think most people here are missing the point. The ERP market is consolidating. The features and functionality for HR, AR, AP, etc...are all similiar. Microsoft is offering a lower cost alternative to business' that have already invested in the Microsoft business solution. If they can get customers to defect from Oracle, they gain market share with SQL Server.
And for anyone who has worked with Axapta and says that it's the worst software ever, check out Oracle apps. They are, without question, the biggest piece of crap ever developed. You don't like the grid functionality of Axapta? How do you think these packages work? They compile SQL code open connections to a database, return recordsets, close the connection, flush the cache, and then do it all over again. This is not unique to Axapta. Axapta actually returns recrodsets faster than PeopleSoft becasue it compiles SQL natively for SQL Server...there's no figuring out what kind of database the SQL needs to be issued to the db as....with ORacle, you're jsut lucky if you can get the goddamn applications to run for five minutes before they crap out. Maybe that JDBC fetch is just too much for the Oracle DB?
