The center of my story today is Larry Ellison’s masterpiece. He’s played a huge part in converting the Microsoft relationship from being arch-rivals, competing in many areas, which they still do, to becoming close business partners. And now Microsoft — this is my interpretation — has become Oracle’s largest customer.

Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE),[1] also known as "embrace, extend, and exterminate",[2] is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found[3] was used internally by Microsoft[4] to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors.

Look it’s easy to understand. MSFT needed the Microsoft hardware to run Oracle workloads that’s it. They could not really have go else where. The only benefit LE gets is a bit of a cheesy news article on MSFT partners with ORCL and a bit of a one time stock pop (after a bad bad qtr) The hardware results for the like of Exadata is the same regardless of if it’s MSFT or another customer buying it. I would say it’s actually even worse as LE could get more revenue from shipping boxes to more than MSFT but hey who am I to tell LE how to run his business.
Wonder how much he paid for article title?
How many of Microsoft's "partners" have gotten a good deal at the end of the day? They eventually sc--w them all over... IBM, Apple, Intel, every PC maker, etc.
