[General] Sun to buy MySQL for $1 billion

[bashar abdullah]

Thanks Burhan. That was a long and detailed enough piece of information. I
had the same feeling about Oracle during their presentation. They were
promoting the heterogeneous nature of their solutions, and how I could
combine one Oracle item with any other different vendor app. Soon after
presentation ended and QA started, it was all of a sudden, no it's  not
recommended to mix, buy everything from us and we will give you 50%
discount. So it's how they play it. Take the whole package and you get 50%
discount, dont take the whole package, and we will give you some hard time
integrating. This is why I hate their latest acquisition of BEA.

As to whether we need the ERP, well let's say I don't have a call on that
and I just need to advise for best solution :). Anyways, I will keep your
comments in mind. Thanks again very much.
