This is completely rational if you consider that Larry Ellison's goal is to build TJ Watson's IBM. Oracle wants to be a systems company instead of a software license company.

- spitfire 16y agoWhy was this downvoted? It's perfectly obvious Ellison wants to be an Apple of enterprise computing. You don't guy and buy megabytes and gigabytes from apple, you buy something that just works. Ellison wants that too. You pay $bucks, plug in a power cord and an ethernet cord and your erp/accounting/db setup is done. If I were a decent sized company I'd pay beaucoup bucks for that. Personally, I commend him. IT is a cost centre for most companies.
