Mark Jarvis Internet Quotations

Oracle 8i is designed to be an Internet operating system.

Our vision is this: In the future, companies won't buy computers. They'll buy connectivity to the Internet the way you go to the electric company to get electricity.

We're really at the start of the Internet commerce curve. It's a market we think we will dominate as we go forward. As more people use the Web, more people will be driven to our database.

As the Web becomes the most important way of computing, going forward, Windows will fall by the wayside. By the year 2002, there will be 2 billion devices connected to the Internet and only 10 percent of them will be running Windows.

As the paradigm shifts from Windows to the Web, we will have the dominant server technology. (Microsoft) SQL Server is not Internet enabled. Oracle 8i is.
