Thanks Larry for this quick answer...

Following my note dated October, 8th regarding Larry’s reaction to SAP’s offer on Business Objects… we had the answer today with this unsolicited offer on BEA for more than $6 billion. Direct consequence: financial analysts imagine that this announcement is a confirmation that Oracle will not come over SAP with a better offer on Business Objects deal. Anyway if Oracle really wants to acquire some BI vendors we have some names to suggest…

A lot of people are tipping the play for BEA Systems is being made to help deliver Fusion earlier. It could be just good timing - SAP is busy with the BOBJ takeover and may not have the immediate funds to counter the Oracle offer for BEA. It's certainly not the BI takeover people were expecting.
