Oracle had this stated direction way back in '96 (anybody remember
Internet File System). It was supposed to eliminate the need for a OS,
Oracle would just "auto-magically" handle everything.
Larry Ellison and Scott McNeely were really talking up a storm about it at
that year's OpenWorld.

RE: Oracle ventures into the O/S market.....?
Oracle has ventured into the Java IDE market and java developers barely
noticed. I thought some people stated that with the direction oracle is
going that they are trying to turn the Oracle database into an OS all by
itself?
