Just blocked another round of incoming email from Oracle to users that would never have had occasion to deal with them. Probably don’t even know who Oracle is.
Then checking the logs shows they sent a different round last Friday on a different IT subject.
Like my HR manager or any of the other people you just emailed is going to attend a Datacenter Optimization Summit?
You didn’t even send the invite to me, you idiots, although that’s probably because I actually have a profile that says don’t send me email.
The only good thing I can say is that I found a number on their website, called and spoke to a live person within seconds of the call being answered, and they eventually understood and helped.
Oracle Marketing = FAIL
Oracle Customer Service = OK

Down with Oracle. They keep buying up awesome companies, Sun, and are destroying them. Java now has more bugs than Adobe, and a ton of the devs for Open office have left. GRRRR Oracle.
Since I posted this, Oracle has actually sent another round of spam, so now Oracle Customer Service gets a FAIL too.
And so does the rep that just sent this email, again not to me, but that’s not the reason for the FAIL. See if you can spot it.

Old post, but thought I would add my 2 cents anyway. I have yet to understand why anybody uses Oracle products in the first place. There are so many other viable options, some even free → PostgreSQL.
Oracle’s iSupport product reminds me of a project I created back in 1999 using MS Access and an ASP page. Piece of %#$%.
