they are energized at Siebel. It really is starting to look like Larry is going to get Peoplesoft. That leaves Tom with a huge market to exploit of customers that don't want Oracle software (pretty much everyone). Maybe so, but Tom Siebel used the uncertainty surrounding the Oracle/PSFT deal as a reason for poorer sales than expected during SEBL's warning a couple of weeks ago. Tom Siebel said the battle by PeopleSoft to avoid a hostile takeover by Oracle was adding to customer fear and uncertainty, leading some to delay software purchases. biz.yahoo.com What are your reasons for thinking the Oracle/PSFT deal is going to go through?
