  1. Microsoft will never buy Oracle.  First and forement Larry Ellison owns 1,149,659,580 shares of the 5.16B oustanding shares.  Thats about 22% of the company, anyone would have a hard (read impossible) time ousting him as chairman of board and CEO.  So basically unless Larry wants to sell his company it ain't gonna happen.


  2. I agree that Microsoft will never buy Oracle.   I think the biggest hurdle would be regulatory.  In my opinion such a merger would not be approved.
