Our Comments

IBM will be playing the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) game and is likely to score a number of wins. Corporate customers hate uncertainty and Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems did throw a number of questions on the table. The next 12 months will be critical for Oracle if it doesn't want its Sun investment to melt down.
