If he sees HP as a competitor, then he will try to win customers from a
competitor.

Ellison saw that HP was lying to customers about IA64 and tried to

I don't know whwther this was a well thought out strategy or a knee jerk
emotional reaction without really checking with the legal dept about any
outstanding contracts.
