I am, as someone has nicely put, an elitist Unix bigot, but I must say that I haven't noticed any difference in performance. I'm ashamed to admit but I do have a Win 2k partition on my PC and I did install oracle 9.2 on it. I ran a few query tests and one batch update test, but there wasn't any noticeable difference between SuSE 8.0 and Win 2k. The machine has 70 GB of disk drives (SCSI IIW), 1300 MHZ Athlon, 640MB RAM, NVIDIA VANTA with 32 MB and Creative Labs PCI 128 soundcard. Performance was almost identical. Now, if you ask me which OS I prefer, Linux wins hands down. After all, I am a UNIX elitist SOB.
