[TriLUG] Oracle Tells The White House: Stop Hiring Silicon Valley People & Ditch Open Source | Techdirt

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

on jacking up their already stratospheric prices.  Businesses that were 
using Oracle because it was the best technical solution found they 
couldn't justify the cost and went second best to SQL Server.
