Is Oracle Fusion really Con-Fusion

If you ask yourself,what is Oracle Fusion then everybody will be having there own opinion. :)
I would like to hear from you all in your words ( via comments on this post ) about what you think is Oracle Fusion.
Most common confusion over fusion among most of guys i discuss/met is thinking Oracle fusion middleware and Oracle fusion applications are same...EVEN Earlier i thought the same thing, i mean i was confused of both terms.
In actual Oracle Fusion Middleware will be used in providing/building Oracle Fusion Applications using Existing Oracle Applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Eward).


Oracle Fusion Midleware is collection of Oracle Midleware products i.e.
--Oracle Application Server (Portal, Wireless, Forms, Reports, discoverer, Webcache, OC4J)
-- Oracle Identity management (OID, SSO,Web Access Manager, CA, Identity Federation)
--Oracle SOA Suite (Service Oriented Suite)
--Oracle Collaboration Suite (RTC, Mail Server, Discussion, Content, Calendar)
--Oracle DW & BI (BI Beans, OWB, OLAP, Express Server, OSA, OFA, DATAMART)
--Oracle development Tools (Designer, developer, SCM,forms, reports)
-- Oracle Data hubs

and
Oracle Fusion Applications will be collection of Oracle Applications i.e.
--Oracle E-Business Suite / CRM
--Oracle Peoplesoft enterprise
--Oracle Siebel CRM.
--Oracle JD Edward Enterprise

These fusion applications will use Fusion Middleware mentioned above....



So in conclusion!

Oracle Fusion is the sum of already existing app development tools, re-badged and re-bunched so they look like a new product.

Oracle Fusion Applications will be the current spread, re-developed using Fusion tools.

The keyword of course is "will".

Or: nothing has changed. Therefore: no conFusion.
Pun intended.


It remains to be seen how well the j2ee-inspired development tools will cope with 8000 tables and 20000 indexes.

I'd love to see how long it would take the j2ee bean container to start up.

but roll-on the powerpoint!
