王云1985年加入IBM，问到他band7的时候做了什么别人不做的事情时，他谈了三点

1）自己读代码，然后总结Abstract，用于PMR和CRM的解决。

2）第一次做LI开发的时候，画了很好的流程图，以至于老板之间让别人来写代码，他去做另外一个复杂LI的设计。

3）勤于与别人交流想法。

Oracle 收购SUN以后，通常认为Sparc + Oracle  Vs pSeries + DB2 会成为市场竞争的焦点。Oracle 在10月14日的 Oracle OpenWorld 上会努力证明Sun+Oracle的组合的竞争力。

在服务器市场开始成萎缩趋势的现在，不知道Oracle这种卖数据库+硬件的策略是否能成为一个黄金搭档。Oracle 如何继续发展之前主推的Linux/Oracle 技术，也成了疑问。随着云计算的兴起，越来越多的客户并不希望自己来购买硬件服务器，而是更多的透过通过从ISV租赁服务的方式来实现传统的IT服务。随着IBM Informaiton Ageda版图的日趋完整，IBM 与 Oracle 的战争将愈演愈烈。

Oracle 的战书：

PERFORMANCE

Sun + Oracle is faster.

Oracle and Sun together are hard to match. Just ask IBM. Its fastest server now runs an impressive 6 million TPC-C transactions, but on October 14 at Oracle OpenWorld, we'll reveal the benchmark numbers that prove that even IBM DB2 running on IBM's fastest hardware can't match the speed and performance of Oracle Database on Sun systems. Check back on October 14 as we demonstrate Oracle's commitment to Sun hardware and Sun SPARC.
