'Who wants to be a millionaire?' Oracle's Ellison asks
October 3, 2000, 4:15 p.m. PT

Larry Ellison is betting heavily on Oracle's e-business software--$1 million 
to be exact.

The Oracle chief executive today hawked the company's database and
e-commerce software, guaranteeing the products together will run Web sites 
three times faster than rival offerings from IBM and Microsoft--or he'll 
give customers $1 million.

"If the performance doesn't triple, we'll give you a million bucks," Ellison 
said in an attempt to woo existing IBM and Microsoft customers. The Oracle 
leader spoke for an hour to thousands of Oracle faithful attending the 
software giant's annual Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco.

Given the amount of faith expressed in the web hosting capabilities of the 
(formerly known as) AS400 on this list, anyone care to take up Larry's 
challenge and win themselves a million ???
