Most noticeably, Oracle (9i) has said that it is now giving Linux equal status in a market it now sees as being split three ways - between Windows, Linux and Solaris.
This is an enormous boost for Linux fortunes, as the OS now offers the credibility that goes with the support of both IBM and Oracle, an event that finally dismisses any suggestion that Linux is a risky "unsupported" environment attractive to only the very brave or the very foolish IS director.
