Oracle loses Pentagon cloud fight

Oracle Corp. lost its legal challenge to the Pentagon’s $10 billion cloud contract on Friday, clearing the way for the government to award the contract to Amazon.com Inc. or Microsoft Corp.

Federal Claims Court Senior Judge Eric Bruggink dismissed the company’s argument that the contract violates federal procurement laws and is unfairly tainted by conflicts of interests.

Who the hell would want to host anything on anything Oracle?

Imagine all the kickbacks and favours procured during the tender process of this contract. All of that doesn't matter if you have a competent bidder earning the contract.

Oracle is prime evil, probably my top hated it company.
