I don't think you'll have to wait too much longer--probably in the next few 
weeks I'd expect. The latest beta is very good IMHO.

The only thing you can count on is that anyone saying a specific date will 
probably be wrong. There's a big party on Wednesday (the 11th :) to do the 
launch, but I'm not sure that the bits will be available at that time.

Any idea when we could have 11g RDBMS install binaries available ? i am waiting 
to install and explore it at my test/development environment.

Robert,

My only comment is that AFAIK most of the OEM Advisories require one of the
chargeable packs 
e.g. Tuning, Diagnostics etc. How many sites are actually
licensed to use these packs and hence the OEM Advisories? Hence how much page
coverage, in relation to other features, is appropriate for features that most

people SHOULDN'T be using due to licensing.

Just a point for you to consider.

Cheers,

Chris
