I don't think there's a person on our management team that wouldn't have liked a couple more quarters to prove our mettle,

I knew it was on the short list of alternatives, ... The top order of preference would have been to get Siebel back on track in terms of growth and profitability in a reasonable amount of time. That's what we as a management team were trying to do.

You're just now beginning to see how far ahead we are.

Our customers like the fact that this footprint is going to be much larger,

Most importantly, they are happy that Siebel CRM will be the cornerstone of Oracle's Project Fusion CRM strategy.

I think he has a better handle on that today than perhaps he was able to have at OpenWorld, ... There's still a lot of devil in the detail there. I think that is sort of in the category of 'stay tuned.'

Our business analytics business was our sleeping giant,

Our focused efforts will help us target the majority of places where (our competitors) customers shop today - brick-and-mortar stores,

Our product is more advanced than most and we'll continue to build it out,

Business innovation is not enough; new product innovation is not enough, ... Companies are wondering what to do. Our advice is to focus on the customer. Get more from the customer.
