business.

“Nope. Ellison went on to explain that Sun is going to help
Oracle become a great “systems” company, not just a hardware or
software company. He said his goal is to become the successor to
the old IBM under Thomas J. Watson.

the dominant software company in the world and translated that to
being the dominant systems company.” Ellison called that IBM, “the
greatest company on Earth.”
