My point was just that the days when Oracle cheerfully sat on top of an OS,
completely relying on the OS for every piece of functionality outside of
running an ACID-compliant database storage engine, are long gone.

This list does not make Oracle an OS. Try implementing any of that
stuff without an OS underneath and the point will be crystal clear..

I have a talk I give at OUGs around the country about database
automation that makes a few general points on this subject:
- Oracle's database is getting closer to an OS all the time. We
can look at some of the features that Oracle has internally like:
--- Cluster framework (CRS)
--- IP and network management (VIPs - yes, part of the CRS, I
know)
--- Built-in memory management (automatic SGA, etc. tuning)
--- Built-in storage/volume management (ASM)
--- Filesystem structures (tablespaces, OCFS, etc.)
