Morgan What I said is that Oracle is not pitching PeopleSoft to customers interested in HR systems. They are pitching Oracle HR exclusively, even though PeopleSoft is superior. I have no doubt that Oracle will try to incorporate technology, etc from PeopleSoft into their own products, and the then kill the Peoplesoft products. Same goes for IBM with Informix.

And what I said is that if it is true it is irrelevant to what I wrote. Perhaps fodder for a different thread. -- Daniel A.
