Re: So...

You are right in your summary. Shipping tends to mean they are being shipped into the warehouses of distributors and retailers. But these companies wouldn't accept the stock if they were not seeing the demand. All analysts, except Context, refer to sales-in.

Re: Don't know they're bourne

Hello Doc, I sent you an email about this supposed 20% hike from SAP and didn't hear from you. I've also contacted SAP and a bunch of SAP suppliers in the UK and nobody seems to know anything about it. Do you work for Oracle by any chance? Best, Paul @ The Reg
