Customer voting
Well; this is what happens when you treat your customers like they do.
Having endured the 'oracle licence shakedown' (including the well documented 'oracles cloud cuckoo definition of virtualisation' - now THAT is fun! ) my only real 'vow' as an IT professional is that I will never through choice procure from Oracle. Legacy I accept [for now] but no-one should be able to behave to their customers like Oracle does - and that will shape IT strategies.
Vote with your feet/wallets people. Larry doesnt need another island...
