Just another way for oracle to try take over the world, one database at a time :)

Not so cool with all the funtionality they took away:

Maximum server specs:
1 CPU
1GB RAM
4GB Database

Too little too late. Which SMB is gonna want to run Oracle Express, esp. with MS SQL 2005 Express being released?
