Ellison doesn't seem to know a lot these days (and this isn't just snark): his moves to purchase then effectively lose influence over various large aspects of the Sun assets (Jenkins, Open Office, MySQL), his vacillation on whether NoSQL is a threat or not, and this ever churning battle with Google over Java...just shows a very unfocused leadership at the helm.
- rbanffy 15y agoThere is nothing more dangerous for a person like Ellison than being surrounded by yes-men. When you are effectively shielded from reality, it's really hard to make informed decisions.
- zeruch 15y agoI'd agree with this. Ellison definitely seemed to have more of a steady hand when he had Ray Lane as COO; a textbook pragmatist, Lane was the diametric opposite of Ellison, and the balance between the two worked really well.
