    I think Oracle would be a great company for taking over Microsoft’s IP, don’t you think?

    I honestly have no idea. Going forward, I wouldn't use it anyway. I had
    it right more than a decade ago: use software that is as free as
    possible. Whoever produces the software, if it's closed, I probably
    won't be tempted to purchase it.
