But a .NET client accessing an Oracle database on a Linux cluster will upset
them surely. Their are working hard to make SQL Server appealing to large
companies, but Intel hardware hasn't been scalable enough - I guess they are
putting a lot of hopes in IA-64 to attack Oracle in the high-end market. And
until they are able to fight off Linux from the server side thay can't be
sure it can flood to the desktop side too, one day.

And who's using Java clients to access Oracle by now? ;-)
