Subject: RE: Oracle ambushes Peoplesoft with $5.1bn bidQuite frankly, I don't believe that the offer is serious. It's only 6% above theFriday closing price and it has already propelled the PeopleSoft's stock to $18.60which is far beyond Oracle's offer. In case that those two do merge, I would beinterested in the new names. How about "Power to PeopleSoft initiative" or "Pythiainitiative"?Mladen Gogala

Subject: RE: Oracle ambushes Peoplesoft with $5.1bn bidRaj,Good point. People Soft does all of their development work on M$ Sql Server and it's one of their supported platforms. IBM would have a similar desire since you know that once People Soft becomes part of Oracle support for non Oracle DB's will die. Actually according to the press release People Soft will become Oracle E-Business suite. That's why I characterize this as a whale swallowing another whale.Dick Goulet
