RE: OT: woohoo larry and bill go at it

Hey this was extremely interesting, I always wondered why it was so = hard to
get a real performance comparison between SQL Server and Oracle - = neither
company wants people to post the results!

So how are consumers supposed to determine which is the better product = for
their needs?

I guess I won't hold my breath for a Consumer Report article on = software...

Thanks for posting this, very enlightening.
