I went to the Twin Cities Oracle User Group today. All about 9i. Except when the speaker polled the room, only a handful of people said they had moved to 9i. About 1/5 of the people raised their hands when he asked who was still using 7.x. A lot of the presentations were not really aimed at me so I got bored and left, but not before hearing about how 9i wasn't completely stable yet and that you couldn't use it with Oracle 7 at all. Like microsoft, one of their most vicious competitors is their own products.
At lunch, there was much moaning and groaning about the economy. Someone told me that Honeywell is outsourcing all of their IT workers. Mostly to India. This person also said that service has gone out the window as far as IT goes. Networks down for several days in a row where before they had very little down time.
