The Oracle culture will not be as friendly towards them, after all Oracle is making money milking large enterprises for large amounts of money and it is in their DNA. If you use wordtracker you can tell that the phrase "Salesforce.com Alternative" is increasingly being searched for especially after such news. These customers will endup leaving salesforce.com and going with other smaller rivals such as Salesboom.com, Entellium, RighNow, etc. Just think of what such an aquisition will mean to the majority of <a href="http://Salesforce.com" title="http://Salesforce.
