  REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. &#8211;&#8211; Hoping to   reassure skittish customers, Oracle Corp. is guaranteeing to install a complex   piece of online business software in 90 days or the company will give the   product away.
  The Redwood Shores-based software company will introduce the new promise   Tuesday under a new marketing campaign called "The War on the Complexity," CEO   Larry Ellison said Monday during a 90-minute meeting with reporters.   The pledge amplifies on Oracle's efforts to build upon its leadership in   database software to sell more products that help companies automate a wide   range of sales and administrative chores.   It also represents the latest in a long history of marketing gimmicks for   Oracle, which is trying to dominate Internet software like archrival Microsoft   Corp. does personal computer software.
