Editor Jan 26 2007 Update: Revised article to point to latest release information.
Happy New Year, everyone. I see that the blogosphere is starting to buzz with anticipation over the New York launch event for the E-Business Suite Release 12.
We're pretty excited about this launch event, too. Please see this article about Release 12 availability:
The above is intended to outline our general product
direction. It is intended for information purposes only, and may not
be incorporated into any contract. It is not a commitment to deliver
any material, code, or functionality, and should not be relied upon in
making purchasing decision. The development, release, and timing of
any features or functionality described for Oracle's products remains
at the sole discretion of Oracle.

Hi Steven,
I was expecting something like that ;-) If R12 software download is not available , can we expect Upgarde, Installation & New feature Docs apart from OOW presentations

Steven,
Thanks for the clarification. I'm looking forward to hearing about when R12 will be available for further evaluation.
Regards,

Hi, Atul,It's still a bit early to speculate on what -- specifically -- will be available at the time of the first launch event. So, we have something else to look forward to... ;-)Regards,Steven

Guilty as charged. I actually made the assumption that the term "launch" implied that something would be sent out (as in a ship or a rocket). After all this time in the Oracle universe, you'd think I'd know better. I'd better post a retraction at ORCLville!
Thanks,
Floyd

No harm done, Floyd. I truly can't say whether or not downloads will be available on Jan 31st, but I've always found it easier to surprise someone pleasantly than disappoint them.Regards,Steven
