IBM has unseated Oracle, study says. Big Blue has surpassed Oracle as the leading seller of database-management software, according to a study to be released later this week and obtained by CNET News.com. [CNET News.com]
Oracle is still number one, by a commanding lead, in Unix databases, but is now number two behind IBM in the total database market (Unix + Windows).
I don't know why, but I like IBM. For a big company, they're not bad. Is it because they don't have a prominent personality (no Gates, Balmer, McNealy, or Ellison)? Or is it because they are Linux and open source friendly?
