I had to laugh......

"Thinking about this PeopleSoft bid by Oracle made me wonder
if we should approach them and suggest a minority investment
to bolster their independence in return for a modest platform
commitment,"

Modest platform commitment, HA! I'm sure they approached
Dell, Gateway, eMachines, et al with the same "proposal".

This one reall gets me
"He added that Microsoft planned to let SAP customers continue
using rival databases even if it bought the company"

Gee, how kind of them! Letting your customers run the software
THEY wish to run! What a concept!
