Oracle had this stated direction way back in '96 (anybody remember Internet File System). It was supposed to eliminate the need for a OS, Oracle would just "auto-magically" handle everything.

Larry Ellison and Scott McNeely were really talking up a storm about it at that year's OpenWorld.

RE: Oracle ventures into the O/S market.....?

Oracle has ventured into the Java IDE market and java developers barely noticed. I thought some people stated that with the direction oracle is going that they are trying to turn the Oracle database into an OS all by itself?
