If Oracle and Microsoft crash and burn when the bubble pops, it would be absolutely amazing

    Microsoft won't, but Oracle... I'm having trouble figuring out what Oracle sells nowadays that is worth paying money for. Are there really that many companies still hooked on Oracle's DB?

    Microsoft uses Oracle, to give you a sense of scale.

    The Ellisons don't care, they're in the media business now. They now control a sizeable portion of the news media, and as well as entertainment. It will bring in even more money, and also make them among the most influential people on the planet.
