Of course nothing is ever final, but publicly announcing something like this is already sort of a "fuck you" to Oracle, so I'd be surprised if they weren't a 100% sure of their plans to switch.

Though the plan might be to negotiate cheaper Oracle licenses..

Oracle won't negotiate with Salesforce -- there are too many personal traits between the CEOs.
