this is not to bring up a heated debate over the two platforms...

I am making a proposal to move the current access 97 databases to an oralce platform running solaris.... I would like to put in the proposal a brief reason why a UNIX platform will be better than a Windows platform.

the current environment:

MS Access 97 databases running on Compaq server. Databases are about 20GB in size...

proposed solution:

Sun E3500
T3 Storage Array
Solaris 8
Oracle 8i

Just need a couple FACTS as to why one would choose UNIX over Windows....

Thanks in advance....
