As long-standing rivals, partners and industry leaders, Microsoft and Oracle have been working with corporate clients in accordance with their business and technological needs for over 20 years.
...
Today, we are expanding our collaboration to provide solutions for private and public cloud systems through a new strategic partnership between Microsoft and Oracle.

...
As part of this partnership, Oracle certifies and will support its software deployed on Windows Server Hyper-V and Windows Azure platforms. This means that customers who already use the Oracle software launch option on Windows servers will be able to work with the same software on both Windows Server Hyper-V and Windows Azure.
Oracle customers will also be able to use their existing licenses to run Oracle software in Windows Azure. They will be able to enjoy the support and benefits of moving licenses, starting today.
In the near future, we will add instances of Infrastructure Services with pre-configured versions of the Oracle Database and Oracle WebLogic Server for clients that do not have Oracle licenses. In addition, Oracle will allow clients to get and run Oracle Linux instances in Windows Azure.
We will also be working to add Java support to Windows Azure, which will provide new opportunities for millions of Java developers.
Windows Azure supports, and will continue to support, Open Source languages and development tools, and after today's news, I hope that the seriousness of our intentions in this area will be obvious.
...
In our vision, Cloud OS — a single platform covering our client’s private clouds, service provider, and Windows Azure clouds — for this we do everything to ensure that client applications receive full support in cloud systems.
...
This is a cool partnership for a new cool corporate era!
“The IT environments of our customers are changing rapidly, matching the dynamic nature of the modern world. At Oracle, we strive to provide more choices for customers by providing several deployment options for our software, including on our own hardware, as well as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Cooperation with Microsoft expands our partnership and this is important for the benefit of our customers. „
