    Lol, Oracle.

    Like anyone is even interested in this overpriced crap. Oracle's support is draconian, they charge to fix bugs, and they are ruthless and nasty to customers, VARs and partners.

    Oracle's success is the death of innovation.

    Thanks for nothing Oracle

    Slightly related. I have to say that since Oracle Borg'd Sun, the support has gone through the floor. You can't even talk to anyone now, you have to interact with them via some horrendous website. After which they will quite happily ignore you for a random amount of time.

    Good job our Sun kit is ever decreasing nowadays.
