SAN FRANCISCO, November 6, 1996 -- If Microsoft
Corp. CEO Bill Gates were a plumber, he would
control all the water in the world and force anyone
who wanted some of the precious liquid to cut a deal
with him.
With that statement, Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison
closed a question-and-answer session with reporters
and analysts held here Tuesday at Oracle OpenWorld.
During his hour-long appearance, Ellison agitated in
favor of low-cost, generic network computers and
against Windows-based PCs.
"The notion of one company controlling the whole
[computer] industry is shocking and unacceptable,"
Ellison said, referring to what he describes as
Microsoft's stranglehold on PCs through its
ubiquitous Windows operating systems.
