SalesForce.com Asia Pacific vice president of marketing Doug Faber says about Oracle's bid for Siebel
"It's the best thing that could have happened," he said. "The dinosaurs will keep on mating for a little bit
longer, but eventually they'll go away." (Oracle) is a dog's breakfast of an offering - if you're an Oracle
sales guy, what do you sell them? Siebel, PeopleSoft, Oracle 11i?"
I remember Larry Ellison boasting on interviews in the early 90's...he said he "hated" Bill Gates
(never gave a reason why). Larry said his goal in life was to put Microsoft into the ground and
make Oracle #1.
Later that week Larry entered a sailing race and won. Immediately upon getting to shore he helo'd
to the airport when he got in his Italian fighter jet and then he "buzzed" the remaining competitors
that were still yet to cross the finish line...nice guy :rolleyes:
Now Doug Faber just called Larry Ellison a dinosaur! :) Larry won't sleep tonight, Bill Gates will.
(Speaking of Larry...is he still wearing that ridiculous goatee-thing on his face (http://www.netzeitung.de/img/0045/114345.jpg)?)
