And for good reason.

Although my original report was based on 10gR1, there's nothing I've
seen to suggest that I should invest more time in it for 10gR2.
Disappointing.  It'd be a better sales tool and eye-candy if it were
stable.
 
Enjoy!  GL!

        Hmmm...
        
        Two hours and no responses.
        
        GC does not appear to be in wide use.

                Well, I have actually, but only long enough to try it
and discard it
                because I didn't like it too much.
                
                I've been told that GC is completely re-written and a
much 
                better product than OEM.  What I want to find out is if
there
                is some community concensus to back up that claims.
                
                Let's assume none of the add-on packs ($$$$) will be
used,
                and RAC is not involved.
                
                What does GC bring to the table that is worthwhile in
your opinion?
                
                I was also told that GC could be used to (easily?)
download and
                apply Critical Patch Updates.  Maybe not quite
automated, but
                simplified at least.  Has anyone experienced that? 
                
                It was also stated that this beast would require 8Gig of
RAM,
                which seems rather excessive.
