Of course this challenge is a bold marketing stunt, but i like it ...

If your Oracle database application doesn't run at least twice as fast on SUN hardware as on IBM's fastest computer, your company could win $10 million from Oracle. Even IBM is welcome to enter the $10 Million Challenge!

The rules of the challenge are available here.

The more I look at the Oracle+Sun deal, the more I listen to LJE, the more I hear the fighting talk, the more I like it!!

Mal ehrlich. Das ist doch bei Larry fast schon pathologisch.
