Today morning, I was talking with Oracle Corp. guys. They informed that
within the next 4 weeks, Oracle might change their policy on Power Units
i.e., they might remove power units concept and come up with a significantly
lesser price model.

They can cut 80% and it would still be expensive.
But it is nice to see they are finally getting some brains. Yeah, I think
Oracle should always be expensive, but ludicrus is just not acceptable,
specially when they are KILLING their main partner (Sun). Sun is laying
off the ENTIRE company but upper managment for 1 week, all travel expenses
need to be pre-approved, and their standard hiring freeze.
Yes, I think the market is hurting a little right now, but if you got a
product (Sun and Oracle both do) it is your marketing and pricing that will
make it much more difficult.
It is like the old theory, I got 100 apples, I can sell them at $2 a piece
and sell 20 of them. Or I can sell them for $1 and sell all of them. When
you get apples for $.50 both are profitable, just one is better.

Oracle slashes prices in Japan. Global cuts next?
http://www.erpcentral.com
cw360.com June 4, 2001
Oracle could be on the verge of announcing significant price cuts around
the world after its Japanese operation slashed database prices this week.
The company is refusing to comment on speculation, saying chief executive
officer Larry Ellison will be making a major pricing announcement to
coincide with the launch of the 9i database at Oracle OpenWorld later this
month.

Cuts pricing in Japan Dan Verton, Computerworld Oracle Corp.'s Japanese
unit last week slashed prices for the company's database software by 25
percent and increased volume discounts to 35 percent, raising hopes among
U.S. users that the cuts herald lower prices here.
Street Fight: Oracle
http://www.erpcentral.com
Forbes.com, June 4, 2001
With sagging earnings and lack of guidance for its soon-to-be-announced
fourth quarter, Oracle has been slapped with no less than nine analyst
downgrades since early March. Shares of the database software provider
have dropped 67% from their 52-week high, giving the stock a latest
12-month price-to-earnings ratio of just 14. Is it time to buy America's
second-largest independent software concern?

Hi,
Few days ago someone posted a link to a newsletter about the slashing of
the prices of Oracle products in Japan and that Larry Ellison would
announce price reductions that will apply worldwide. Someone can send me
the link ??
TIA,
Antonio Belloni
