So all the pomp and ceremony is over and Oracle 11g is launched, but as yet I’ve not heard anything about a release date. Does anyone know when it is likely to hit the shelves. I kind-of though that was the big news, but as yet I’ve not seen any press releases or blog entries that specify a date. It’s not available for download on OTN yet, so I’m assuming the “Launch” and the “Release” are not the same thing.
Have I missed something?

The chasm between sales and marketing and reality ?
I was expecting that 11g will be available for download. But it isn’t. At least we can read whitepapers…
Oracle said the software will be commercially available on Linux sometime in August

I also heard August mentioned during the launch webcast. And there’s this:

Linux in August; Windows to follow. This is SOP.
Thanks for the updates guys. I’ve not watched the video, I can’t get to it from work. 🙂 I’ve just read the press stuff, which wasn’t mentioning the actual dates.

Hey, at least the gag-order is off regarding talking about 11g! 🙂
