Open Source points the way forward.
Oracle will introduce Oracle 10G at OracleWorld, an upgrade to its flagship database that is designed for use on computer grids. This much heralded change to a grid software approach is not so much a cause as it is a symptom of the transforming forces buffeting the software industry at present. Early indications certainly point towards a move to a service orientated approach, leaving the conventional pricing model of proprietary software behind.
Open Source software plays no small role in this push: Microsoft foresees Linux, the Open Source operating system, gaining market share at a faster rate than Windows. CFO John Connors projects the number of servers running on the Linux platform in 2004 will jump by 24%, far outpacing Microsoft's 9.5% projected growth.
