He'll take the credit, not the blame

In a bid to become poster boy for the whining generation, PeopleSoft's Craig Conway now says that the Oracle saga is not over. Six months ago, when PeopleSoft reported a good quarter, Conway trumpeted the "fact" that he had beaten back the Oracle takeover bid. This week, in the face of poor quarterly results, Conway blamed Oracle for sowing FUD among PeopleSoft's customer base.

I've had negative reactions to Conway's activities before (here and here). This man has succeeded in making Larry Ellison - once one of the most loathed men in California - look angelic, refined and equanimitible. That's quite a talent, Mr. Conway!
