Re: Commission?

That's nothing for Oracle. Plenty customers spend in excess $100m per year on Larrys code. It's a corollary of owning 50% of the planets database installations. Then trying to shovel all sorts of crap on top ( read: the rest of the oracle portfolio.

They are a thoroughly reprehensible bunch all in it for themselves. Capitalism? Yes, but without a shred of benign empathy. Hurd is a nasty character, well suited to Larry and that woman Safra.

Sales folk are greedy - they may need to be in a culture like oracles, where they are ritually pressurised, scrutinized, ridiculed in front of their peers, then spat out. It takes a certain sort of resilience in someone to want to be there.

I was. So you can sense my bias....ghastly organization.
