It seems like all Oracle ever does is buy companies, they are a notable omission from this list.

I wonder how many more Oracle will do? They have been consolidating the market pretty heavily. Maybe they will make 1 or 2 really big ones rather then a bunch of smaller ones? Who is left for them to buy?

Oracle has to acquire companies. It's the only way it manages to grow its revenue. As far as it's core products go, it already sells licenses to almost all the Fortune 500's. If you're selling to everyone it's tough to find new customers... Oracle doesn't sell to the small guys
