If I were to comment on where I see Oracle going as a customer focused
organization right now, I’d be writing a book.
I believe that they are making some key, strategic mistakes in the customer
support side of things.
I also believe they are making key mistakes on the way they are dealing with
their highly skilled employees.
But –alas – Mark and Safra did not request a sit down with me when I left
Oracle.

In Switzerland, Germany, Spain etc experienced support people were layed off
and support is going to Rumania.
I don't believe that a company is able to replace years of experience
adequately.
That is serious, because customers are paying for support.
Less service for the same money offers a point of attack for competition.

be creating a more and more adversarial relationship with their customers.
Microsoft may simply see an opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. I
think this is going to be interesting to watch, I am going to get some popcorn.
And probably learn something about sql server too.

"For every instance of Oracle you have, we’ll give you a free SQL Server
license. ..."
There's no free lunch so there must be some fine print. What features are
included? Is it free in perpetuity?
