A growing number of organizations are interested in moving away from closed, proprietary technology platforms in favor of an open computing model. As one of the fastest growing operating systems in the world, Linux is emerging as a viable alternative to Microsoft Windows as an email and collaboration platform.

Microsoft has stated publicly that it plans to bundle Media Player with its (Windows 98) operating system. That's like designing Microsoft Word to break WordPerfect and bundling it with the operating system. Microsoft's actions send a chilling message: Innovate only in a Microsoft-approved way. What Microsoft is doing is wrong and must be stopped.

There is no neat distinction between operating system software and the software that runs on top of it. Thus Web browsing software can be implemented primarily as an application or middleware that runs on top of an operating system, as Netscape elected to do, or as an integral part of the operating system itself, as Microsoft elected to do, or in a manner that is midway between those two approaches.

Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right.

If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

Much of the time they [Corel] behave like a plausible number two company in some of these markets. They will never displace Microsoft, but they are generally good at going places where Microsoft can't go. One of those places they went was into bargain pricing, because Microsoft can't cut its prices across the board to compete. They continuously find points of vulnerability at Microsoft. Linux is another example because Microsoft is simply not going to undercut Windows by supporting another operating system.

The Microsoft piece fits squarely into that from the point of view of being the operating system platform that Oracle software runs on, as well as having a number of components that serve applications in different parts of the stack.

We have been successful in identifying popular open-source software applications that our customers are interested in using on the Microsoft Windows Server platform and working with those companies or projects to ensure that solution is well integrated.

People forget that Microsoft took a huge bet to think that an independent operating system and programming language would be successful.

Jeff Raikes (1958-)

[Microsoft's omnipresence was apparent at the show in statements from executives of open source companies.] Microsoft is the largest software company in the world. They are our competition, ... The day when they're not the competition is when we'll stop talking about them.
