As for Oracle, this looks like a good fit for them. The negotiations seemed to have gone well (given the offer price) and the transition will also probably be fairly smoothe due to the corporate ties http://www.newsvisual.com/newsvisual/2007/10/oracle-and-bea.html#more . As for Carl Icahn, while many people despise him, I have to admit that he is a very efficient mananger and is well-known for improving management at the 30+ companies he is involved in http://www.newsvisual.com/newsvisual/2007/07/icahns-connecti.html , the majority of which are profitable.
