I don't get the hate for hearing Oracle challenge another large huge company in court.
That's the correct course of action in the US. If you disagree with something you take it to the courts!
It's not David vs Goliath here where Oracle is abusing it's deep pockets with lawyers.
Worse yet then people get upset at the outcome of the decision if it wasn't to their liking.
- count 7y agoOracle didn't challenge another huge company, they challenged the federal govt. They're well within their rights to do so, or the case wouldn't have moved forward at all. The hate for Oracle is that exactly nobody but Oracle thinks they ever stood a tiny chance, and nobody likes a company who's primary customer acquisition model is lawsuits.
- Analemma_ 7y agoI haven't seen anyone contesting Oracle's right to challenge this in court, we're just saying it was a waste of time motivated solely by sour grapes. Absolutely everyone-- at Oracle, at the other cloud providers, and in the Pentagon-- knows that Oracle's cloud is a joke compared to AWS/Azure and that they didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning this case. We're making fun of them for frivolous litigation.
- RHSeeger 7y ago> frivolous litigation Frivolous litigation that WE are paying for. It's our tax money paying for those court cases.
- __jal 7y agoThe hate for Oracle is more about Oracle. Their tech has always been weak, their sales force rabid jerks who manage to be even more annoying that IBM's, and they have always taken an adversarial stance towards their own customers. The best strategy to pursue with Oracle is never speak to them.
