Here We Go Again

The Oracle apologists are still employed over at Business Week:

Now, Oracle May Finally Rest

Another fine example of someone trying to analyze a software merger from an application perspective, but having no expertise to do it and allowing their real bias to show. The author conveniently misses things such as...

• The actual application that Siebel sells
• The assumption that the entire world runs on Oracle database software (hint: it doesn't)
• The utter confusion of Oracle's product offerings until "Fusion" is released, whose release date, assuming Siebel CRM will be folded in, will be extended even further

But, hey, the shareholders are happy, so that's all that matters, right?
