I am not a fan but I wouldn't call Oracle "not winning". It has been a very profitable company for a very long time. I am not so sure if the current star companies will last that long.

Do their profits come from winning in new markets? I thought they mostly shake down their existing customers who are locked into Oracle systems.

I mean, sure, but looking at the last five years they are getting destroyed by clouds. Amazon, Google, and long-time nemesis Microsoft are all dramatically outperforming Oracle. Nobody wants Oracle's cloud products. The companies that are doing worse than Oracle are other dinosaurs like IBM and Dell. Even VMWare is beating them.

  VMWare is majority owned by Dell.
