Oracle's March announcement that it will discontinue developing software for Intel's Itanium platform has reportedly compelled HP to send the software company a letter demanding Oracle reverse its decision, threatening legal consequences if it doesn't comply. HP officials believe Oracle's decision violates contractual agreements and would be detrimental to shared customers of the company, which number over 140,000. The tech companies, which have publicly battled in the past, are at odds over Itanium-based HP servers.
