Hi,
Not. That's not going to happen very much in my
opinion.
In a global economy, IT service providers in <insert
country> are not paying Oracle licenses anyway. Check
statistics for percentage of crib software by country.
Corporations are starting to use these service
providors off-shore, and, like magic, no license cost
problems. :-(
Or, the threat of that happening (and/or current
market IT software sales slump) will intervene to
cause a balance in license payments. :-)
Anyway, I just read an article yesterday, sorry lost
the link, saying people are getting 70-80% discounts
on Oracle, et al, licenses already.
Nice try by that guy though.
Regards,
Mike Thomas
