Oracle confirmed at the road show event I went to yesterday that "pricing will not change". Let's see how many people are happy to buy 100's of EE CPU licences :-)  

And my favourite bit? The new OEM is all singing, all dancing ... but must be hosted by 10gAS. (Though that's probably the case with EM under 9i ... just don't use it often enough to know).

        Soooo Does it mean that a network with 100 computers of 1 cpu each is almost equivalent to 100 cpu giant computer ??
