Sun Microsystems acquisition will be an anchor weighing down performance for the forseeable future.

I think that MSFT will continue to take market share, despite Larry's buying sprees.

Oracle is acquiring Sun Microsystems for $7.4 Billion. This might be viewed as an unhealthy investment at first to the market.

Oracle's DBMS market share will be eaten by Microsoft's SQL.

This company is going to get eaten by open source alternatives. Today's earnings miss is not entirely due to weakness in corporate IT spending -- rather, I think we are seeing the beginning of the end for Oracle.
Now that MySQL and PostgreSQL are fully backed by Sun and IBM respectively, the last shoe has dropped for Oracle's database business.
In the meantime, their middleware products are under pressure on three fronts -- Microsoft's .NET is a superior alternative for those who don't mind vendor lock-in, Sun's J2EE takes the other side of the big-enterprise market, and ad-hoc open source frameworks are sneaking in everywhere else.
Goodbye Oracle. You will not be missed.

Hasn't gpne anywhere ;ately, not going to with the current economic situation.
Recs
There should be no need to outperform their competitors- they have a rather lazy share of the market when it comes to business. Baby boomers are retiring and so is the technology that came with them. Hold for a short period of time, and bail a month prior to you planning to orinigally bailing.
Recs
Oracle has been stagnant with the exception of acquisitions and there is nothing visible on the horizon to change that.
Recs
Oracle is a growing software company, but follows the industry which is down.
