    If Oracle and Microsoft crash and burn when the bubble pops, it would be absolutely amazing

      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

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

    Literally just siphoning wealth from society.

      Just like cancer. And when it comes to cancer there only two options. Let the cancer kill the body, or we “cure” it first.

    Silicon Valley is rotten to its core.
