    Could this level of vehemence be attributed to:

    – the constant stream of complaints about Oracle’s licensing in virtual environments,

    – plans to only test their products in their own virtual machine environment rather than testing any of the industry leading products

    – competition coming from other suppliers who have warmly embraced virtual servers and clients

    – competition coming from other suppliers who have warmly embraced software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service

    It certainly appears that way to me.
