In short ... after complaining bitterly for years about how wrong
Oracle's architecture is ... they've copied it. Flattery perhaps but
where is the apology for all of the criticism's heaped on Oracle for
so many years?

So much for innovation in Redmond. Why invent when you can copy.
But then why would anyone want these features in a version 1.0 product
when they could have them fully tested in a version 10? Go figure.
