Poor Larry

阅读更多
I've read about an interesting narration about Larry Ellison, the driver of Oracle in a very technical book. (I forget the name...):

As for my personal opinion about the software industry, 50% belongs to Microsoft and the rest 50%  is divided by guys like IBM, Oracle, BEA who always can't stop fighting each other while Microsoft was looking on them with amusement. For example, Larry says "J2EE is the way ahead."; BEA says "J2EE is the only choice."; IBM says "J2EE is the way to go."; Then Microsoft defends that ".Net is the future. Forget Java."  Suddenly Larry will turn against to BEA and IBM: "IBM is a hopeless company and BEA is dying soon." This may be attributed to Larry's rooted philosophy that "To win is to make anyone else fail" Anyone rational enough to understand this story may think .Net is a safer bet.
