Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
Dick,
Then I guess we are hogtied and an apple stuffed in our mouths. MSFT has been offering free .net training to our people and we have a few small .net applications already live.
Though I suspect Bill is no different from Larry or Scott. They all think their way is the only way.
