Compared to some of the many many acquisitions that oracle has made

None whatsoever.
This is a direct shot at Microsoft. Balmer was stuck for words to
comment on it, because M$ essentially has no way of responding to this.
In another coupla years Oracle is gonna have a turn-key solution to beat
Win-servers out of DCs.
Microsoft's response will be to get into hardware as well, but it's a
bit too late. I can see it already:
Balmer: Dell, are you for sale?
Dell: Get lost!
Balmer: AMD, are you for sale?
AMD: Say *wot*?
Balmer: Lenovo, are you for sale?
Lenovo: Solly, no speak engrish
Balmer: anyone for sale out there, we need to buy a server maker?
(silence...)
Hardware? I'll take a Xbox, if it's cheap enough. But then I'll install
Linux on it.

Hey! I lay claim to the first public announcement

After that, anything is possible.
