Your responses should be you-know-what.

Subject: Converting from Oracle and DB2 to SQL Server

To All,
Have you given consideration to SQL Server or DB2? The reason I said
that is: I attended a meeting titled "New Directions". This was a
"crack QUALITY" team composed of you know who (devel--ers and managers)!
Ha! Ha! Anyway, here is the final results: (1) Oracle and DB2 must go;
they are too expensive, (2) We are going in the direction that industry
is going in, (3) We are going to train all of our you know who to use
.Net for creating future applications (it is also easier to find a .Net
you know who) and migrate Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, and PL/SQL
Server Pages (PSPs), ASP, Cold Fusion, COBOL, etc to .Net, (4) We also
are going to look at java (because its free, one of our applications was
built using Oracle JDeveloper, and it can run on any platform), and (5)
Our database platform will be SQL Server (we already have SQL Server
databases and it is cheaper).

BTW, they didn't include our "Oracle Data Warehouse" group" and they
are not going to do anything to them! I wonder why!

I will probably be on the "crack QUALITY SECOND LOOK" team; so I ask
you gals and guys: "What should be my responses" to these "fine final
results"!
