Oracle buying Siebel

I have to comment on this. Oracle is buying Siebel. I used Oracle financials and played with Siebel in some training classes. What do you get when you merge two hard to use programs? ...what do you think?

Siebel's been a mess for a while. It's more of a pain than SAP in my opinion, it's just not as spectacular when an implementation fails. Microsoft Business Solutions finally abanonded a partnership with Siebel after severals years of trying and failing to integrate it with Great Plains. Good luck Oracle, you're going to need it.
