Personal opinion, the author here has a pretty good grasp of the = marketing fluff that Oracle is tossing around with 10G. I spent 3 hours = with the development manager (thank you Northeast Oracle Users Group) on = the subject. All we've got here is a new coat of paint on RAC. What = you can say is new is the Grid Control product, but that's about all & = since it's the first version I'll bet on a substantial number of bugs.
