Oracle Identitymanagement 20% off

the book price as seen in the RSA conference bookstore today.

I am sure this has nothing to do with the current aquisition of opensso by Oracle from SUN, or has it?!

This merger will be a hot topic for the identity people here at RSA conference too, I am sure. Can't wait to hear what e.g. Uppili and Pat say.
