And as now know Oracle wasn't at fault at all. Orbitz lost a control file and their DBAs started applying Oracle and Solaris patches and didn't contact Oracle, or for that matter Sun, support for hours. By then Orbitz's employees had done irreparable damage.

I work only 1.5 miles from Microsoft and many of my students are from Microsoft. I doubt they'd make up stories about it. And doubt even more that Ballmer would give Oracle even dollar one if he could avoid doing so.
