A few hours ago, Oracle and Microsoft announced their new frenemies relationship that allows pieces of Oracle’s software to mesh with Microsoft’s software and online services. Basically, Microsoft and Oracle agreed to act like friends + enemies so that companies can run Oracle software on Windows Server Hyper V, the “virtualization” software – and Windows Azure.
This could be the start of a books entitled Frenemies in the Cloud, a light-hearted, comedy about love, life and competition.
