Craig Conway:

Thank you.  Good morning.  Welcome to the PeopleSoft 2004 Connect Conference.

[Text Redacted]

So before we get started, let me ask you a question.  Have you ever had a bad
dream that just wouldn't seem to end?

[Laughter and applause]

We have.  And ours has been going on for 15 months.  I'm sure you all saw the
U.S.  District Court decision a couple of weeks ago, which effectively means
that this dream, this saga, is going to just keep going on.  In a letter to
customers that I sent that day, I shared my thoughts about what this decision
meant for PeopleSoft and what it does not mean for PeopleSoft.

Most importantly, it does not mean that PeopleSoft will be acquired by Oracle.
In fact in that letter-

[Applause and cheering]

In fact in that letter I summarized some other key issues, including the
Department of Justice which could appeal the decision, the ongoing antitrust
investigation by the European Commission which already issued a statement of
objections, PeopleSoft shareholder rights initiative or the so-called "poison
pill", and finally, PeopleSoft's lawsuit against Oracle which seeks an
injunction and also monetary damages.

So those were my thoughts that day.  Actually those are my thoughts today.
In fact, that's all I'm allowed to say by our attorneys.

But you may be interested to know that there are actually only about 1,500
customers in the audience today.  Everybody else is an attorney here today.

[Laughter]

The third thing we did in the last 12 months was we introduced some very
innovative new products.  Even though we were dealing with a total ownership
experience, we're dedicating

more than half of our developers, even though we were working on a combination
of PeopleSoft and J.D.  Edwards, even though we were dealing with a hostile
tender offer from Oracle which seem designed to kind of harm our business, we
still managed to release a number of really great products.
