Rivals? Don't undersell it
"Oracle is, of course, one of Microsoft's chief rivals in the
database and business applications space--a fact that
Ballmer highlighted in an interview in February. Sun is also
a longtime rival, although the two companies have had a
technology partnership in recent years stemming from
their settlement of legal hostilities back in 2004."

The relationship between Larry Ellison and Ballmer is
hostile.

And now Oracle has the technologies to directly target MS
revenues. A great move by Oracle and Ballmer knows it.
