Oracle products have a 18-24 mos. maturity cycle, so customers are just starting to take up R12 this year, and rightfully so. If they successfully delivered any of their Fusion Applications earmarked to replace EBS this year, they would be cannibalizing R12. Furthermore, they would be 1.0 versions and subject to the aforementioned maturity curve, which means they would not be ready for prime time until 2010. I expect to see them crop up next year, so risk averse clients like large corporations are looking at a 2011 or 2012 implementation! I am also skeptical about Oracle's promise of an upgrade path if you were on 11.5.10+ I did see one early 'Fusion App', an E-Commerce Self Service portal built using their OAF on top of a Siebel core! They have built new capabilities into this product like the multi-storefront feature that are not available in any of their legacy products. If done properly, Oracle can continue to extend the portal while replacing the Siebel core with Fusion Apps. You are on to something…
