None whatsoever.

This is a direct shot at Microsoft. Balmer was stuck for words to comment on it, because M$ essentially has no way of responding to this.

In another coupla years Oracle is gonna have a turn-key solution to beat Win-servers out of DCs.

Microsoft's response will be to get into hardware as well, but it's a bit too late. I can see it already:

Balmer: Dell, are you for sale?
Dell: Get lost!
Balmer: AMD, are you for sale?
AMD: Say *wot*?

Balmer: Lenovo, are you for sale?
Lenovo: Solly, no speak engrish
Balmer: anyone for sale out there, we need to buy a server maker?
