Please please please stop using the 1992 serif font for everything in Solaris. I know that it is nostalgic and immediately identifies the system that you are on as being Solaris but c’mon already. Is an attractive default font too much to ask for in Q4 2012?
And black on white? Seriously?

That is your only gripe with Oracle? I hope I never have to purchase another one of their products.

I love Solaris and I love the Sparc architecture. And I’m pretty fond of Java.

Maybe it is just the products they have purchased over the years like Primavera Project. It was hellish just to get it installed in a standalone mode and I have yet tried to install it on my server.

Yeah, I thought this was a complaint about how Oracle salesmen keeps calling asking what we use for DB’s. 3rd party software said SQL, please leave me alone!

Oracle is the leader in SQL databases. That’s why they ask 
When given the choice of any SQL database, Sybase seems to be the big go to. But often OracleDB is the only option

Funny, they do not reccomend an Oracle database as a back end to the Primavera software, they told me to use MS SQL.
If the option exists, no one recommends Oracle. But tons of applications only work with Oracle. It’s never preferred, only often requried.

Why does everything always prefer MSsql? I hate it, but 3rd party software always put MS in their top 2, and they only tell you about 2 options.
MS SQL Server, as a derivative of Sybase, is considered one of the most powerful, high performance SQL databases on the market. Very little actually competes with it on the high end. Microsoft is actually making an unexpected shift from desktop dominance to database dominance. Not what people would have expected.
