I think professional conference format and quality from RDBMS vendors are fair
game for discussion on this list.
Especially when they could be considered as much a vendor "product" as customer
support, training and software. I know they are
often heavily attended, well-marketed, and much time and effort goes into their
presentation.
Very few enterprise DBA are strictly Oracle anymore. While I would never deny
that it doesn't occur quite regularly
at Oracle events as well, there seems to be quite a bit more vendor parroting
and cheerleading at Microsoft events.
I have seen quite probing and critical reviews of Oracle software even at OOW.
I wonder if that would ever occur at
a Microsoft event? Would they let a MAC guy speak?

Much smaller than OOW. There are 14 sessions running in parallel. There are
about 4 of these parallel tracks during the day.
