Have you heard? No? Well, after just 1 day, there is a LOT of news. But, it is only 1 day, so there will be a lot more announced. Should I wait for Friday? No. OK, here are a few things:

8.2 becomes 9i, what was once noted on Metalink as just a 'bug-fix-release' turns out to be a major release with 100s of new features and arch changes, we can see demos of beta code here
No one is sure, but I would look for "real" 9i some time around 2Q01, a session even mentioned '9i Release II' already
Warehouse Builder, new, 3i, seems to be a very good tool, they may or may not release an interim bug fix release for 2.1
There was mention of "Reports 7" so D2K seems to be well
They seem to care about Win2K and will support new features
It is true that most talks are by Oracle and are marketing oriented, and that there is no CD, and next year there will not be even handouts, but it has been helpful so far.

More later,
