How does Oracle treat their clients badly? Honestly curious, never worked with them.

  A tad late to the party. You find tons of information about Oracle's business model, which essentially is suing customers. This report is a good starting point (PDF) [1] Edited to add : Check the appendix at the end (Appendix – Anecdotal Feedback). It may cure you from the idea of ever wanting to license any Oracle products if you have any say.

  They're absolute assholes during license audits and negotiations. They're one of only two companies to earn a spot on my "Never voluntarily do business with" list.

    And the other?

      The other is Verisign, but I am far less passionate and communicative about that one as it was a result of a singular (albeit terrifically bungled) incident, not an on-going and top-down strategy to be a dickish company.
