Since Apple has partnered with IBM, its once arch-enemy, I wonder if Google will partner with...Oracle, to enter in enterprise. Wouldn't that be funny.
But I'm actually hoping that doesn't happen, and Google has other avenues they can use to enter enterprise more forcefully anyway.
- mbreese 12y agoDid IBM ever view Apple as an arch-enemy though? I mean, sure Apple had the 1984 ad, so it was pretty clear that Apple thought of IBM as an enemy, but was the sentiment returned? I doubt IBM ever really gave them that much credit. And by the time that the new Apple came around, IBM was already well on it's way to being the services giant it is now. But, boy, would an Oracle/Google partnership be funny to watch from the sidelines.
