Now I'll admit that it is a touch off the Oracle topic, but didn't good
old Microsoft say something about integrating Sql*Server & Windows into
what we now call Windows 2003 Server? Guess that died on the vine as
well.

This list does not make Oracle an OS. Try implementing any of that
stuff without an OS underneath and the point will be crystal clear..

I have a talk I give at OUGs around the country about database
automation that makes a few general points on this subject:
- Oracle's database is getting closer to an OS all the time. We
can look at some of the features that Oracle has internally like:
--- Cluster framework (CRS)
--- IP and network management (VIPs - yes, part of the CRS, I
know)
--- Built-in memory management (automatic SGA, etc. tuning)
--- Built-in storage/volume management (ASM)
--- Filesystem structures (tablespaces, OCFS, etc.)
