  Microsoft won’t, but Oracle… I’m having trouble figuring out what Oracle sells nowadays that is worth paying money for. Are there really that many companies still hooked on Oracle’s DB?

    Oracle owns Cerner, the largest IT medical provider. No major competitor either, since they’re multinational and most competitors are single country or regional

    Microsoft uses Oracle, to give you a sense of scale.

        M$ actually bought Citus Data, so they are embracing Pgsql.

      Oracle needs a good dose of adversarial interoperability.

    There are a lot of big companies using Hyperion Financial Management, Hyperion Planning and other EPM stuff.

    The Ellisons don’t care, they’re in the media business now. They now control a sizeable portion of the news media, and as well as entertainment. It will bring in even more money, and also make them among the most influential people on the planet.

  They’ll be expecting government handouts to not go bankrupt and that’s why they’re spending as much as they can. They’ll get that money back anyway.

    This will be the easiest government to get handouts from.
