Larry a big Linux fan, says Oracle exec: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
Larry a big Linux fan, says Oracle exec: ZDNet Australia: News: Software: "There was plenty of interest from Australians in Fusion, a combination of existing and newly acquired software, including PeopleSoft and JD Edwards products. However, Anderson said, many JD Edwards World customers did not share the prevailing perspective.
Users of JDE World, a product based on ageing 'green screen' technology, according to Anderson, were not keen to hear about migration paths, he said.
'You'd look at that today and go 'what, do people use that?'. But I'll tell you, that's the most loyal and vocal customer group we have at Oracle. They love that technology.
'They don't want to hear about Fusion. All they want to hear is that that product line will run for the next 50 years, so that they don't have to worry about it,' Anderson said."
