>Comparable in size? You're obviously including Amazon's retail side, since AWS is only $3B of amazon's revenue [0] (vs 37B in revenue for Oracle).

And you're obviously including something in calculating Oracle's size, since Oracle's cloud business is $0 IIRC -- which is much smaller compared to AWS's $3B.

$0? Ya know, oracle is a public company.. So it's easy to check and see you're clearly wrong.

Try $1 billion annually in saas revenue

Still much less than AWS, and far short of the $37 billion mentioned.

difference is that the remainder of Amazon sales are retail sales. the remainder of Oracle's sales are software (and some hardware).
