Yes, the MicroCock in question attributed this quote to Larry Ellison, 
but the effect was of a tittering audience and much mutterings of 
"Airbus" and "Rolls Royce Engines".

The best quote of the day was:

"Linux administration tools are virtually non-existent. In fact, they're 
almost as good as a DOS prompt!"

Tee hee.

Much audience displeasure and cackles were also heard when Mr Flatface 
(Nick McSomebody, head of Linux FUD Strategy UK) insisted, several times 
to much disbelief, that Microsoft supports open standards.

I don't think it went quite the way MS was expecting. According to press 
reports today, Nick McGrath has been talking about FLOSS users 
perpetuating a Jihad against them.

Stallmanu Akbar!
