In this video interview with ZDNet.com.au, Kyte explains how many questions he receives equate to “my car won’t start”. “I’m going to do it to you — my car won’t start, why? Give me the solution. I’m not going to tell you what errors I see on the dashboard; I’m not going to tell you if I filled the car up with gas recently; I’m not going to tell you if it’s making a noise or not making a noise; but my car won’t start, why not?

Seems like most Australians do not know about Oracle, at least as of the date this video was shot. Of course, it depends on whom you ask the question: Have you heard of Oracle Corporation before?
