I think I missed the pricing announcement too. Wouldn't Enterprise Edition be $40k * 4 =3D $160k
and Standard Edition be $15k * 4 =3D $60k (excluding discounts)? SE One wouldn't apply because of the 4 cpus.

wow. that guy missed the whole pricing announcement for the mid-tier. I hope he didn't really fork over $80,000 to license a 4 CPU Dell server. Quoting from my head, I think it's more like $5,000. And no, I don't work for Oracle (in fact several persons are probably rolling on the floor over that notion on reading this.)
