Because MySQL gives Sun the affinity that’s about 11 million users of MySQL in the world and not very many of them know about Sun's platform offerings. And I assure you that is going to change in the next 60 to 90 days. In fact I think we have got a launch event on November 10th. I would encourage you all to attend in which we'll detail our MySQL optimized systems offerings that will be a lot clearer.

Operating systems are the boundary systems that connect everything together. They are how your application ultimately meet your infrastructure and that's why we're obviously pretty excited with the growth that you can see on slide seven.

We're going to be going after all of those opportunities today. We were probably on our back foot after the pop of the internet bubble, you are going to find us on our front foot with the current economic reality.
