Boston.com / Business / Technology / US case vs. Oracle boosted [by Microsoft]

Boston.com / Business / Technology / US case vs. Oracle boosted [by Microsoft] "During his testimony, Burgum told US District Judge Vaughn Walker, who is presiding over the case, that ''there's a gap" in the functionality of its business applications software that renders it unsuitable for the computing needs of large corporations.
''It would take years and years and years" for Microsoft to match the capabilities of software made by SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft.
Burgum said Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft doesn't have plans to beef up its software to handle the needs of large corporations."

That's a bit perplexing.
