I am in complete agreement on sending information about my databases across the
internet- I have demands that must be met before I'll create an internal user
account and you want me to do what??
Maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me, not sure about everybody else, but
when I come across the option to connect my databases and upload information
about them to Oracle or Microsoft- I hit that "NO WAY IN HECK" button as fast
as I can.
I also do not believe that a company the size of Oracle or Microsoft can make
the best configuration decisions about my company's database needs and
business. That's what my company hired database professionals for... :)

As one of the lucky ones who's been able to use MOS since Monday evening,
I'd be happy if I could get rid of that stupid orange box that tells me I'm
not using OCM. All I can do is shrink it a little. Misleading and
annoying, especially for our users who are not technical (e.g. for JDEdwards
business issues).
And there's no way they're ever going to convince me that I need to connect
my DB servers to the Internet, direct or by proxy. Not gonna happen. Ever.
Perhaps Oracle Corp needs two levels of Support -- one for those that don't
want to manage their DBs and another for those of us that do.
