How easy is it to write an application that will *never* use more than a given number of CPU cores, no matter how many CPU cores are available? Because this could be one solution, providing your OS-of-choice supports it. Because no customer is going to take a compulsory 100% (or more) price rise lying down. Of course, Oracle's database would then perform a lot less well on the same hardware than another database from a more "enlightened" vendor... Let the marketing people wrestle with that one instead, eh?
