I would be very surprised if anyone have a different
opinion about just that! Quite obvious, isn't it? :-)

But as many has said lataly, mr Hoffman as late as today, VSI
has only been "on the map" for a month, and I'm sure other
(like Oracle) must have some time to think things over.

I see no reason to speculate at all before the coming Rdb
technical forums, the first is in the US 2-3 Oct. I will
probably attend the forum in Stockholm the 10-11 Nov.

So give them a break...
