Kevin Turner (COO, Microsoft) :

Exclusive interview !



Kioskea. Some companies increase their maintenance fees, what is Microsoft's policy on this topic ?

Kevin Turner.
We like it when Oracle raises its maintenance fees on their database. It's really helpful for us because our customers really enjoy the fact that we don't charge the maintenance fee for the SQL Database. Therefore, we are be able to do well in growing our share against Oracle specifically in the Database space. It's a difference of business model. Every time they raise their prices, we are be able to grow our share.
