Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle 10g for Windows
Hi Tom,=20
Are you kidding? You never have to install service packs and reboot?=20
We run windows 2003 and our "vice president" in IT decided that as a corporate standard we should turn on auto-update and let the boxes reboot themselves. Excuse me??=20
The more I work on Windows, the more I do not like it. However, I'm in the same boat as you. You make do with what you are given when you are not personally paying the bill.

Unfortunately, we have to put up with unrealistic comments like these.
let
me repeat it again for those who forget:
Some of us have no choice in the operating system that we work with.
And
some of us are running systems under a Windows environment and are
perfectly
happy with how things run, and *never ever* have the "problems" that get
reported here. =20
I have windows databases that have been running for 3 years now.
*Never*
does the machine crash. And *never* do we reboot "just because we
should".
If you experience bad things, then I suggest you take it up with your
system
admin. More than likely, somebody was allowed to treat a database
server
like a personal desktop.
Just my 2 cents.

Define dominant?
The chances of Linux overtaking the average desktop in the world are pretty slim and Linux is not really mature enough to run enterprise level stuff - maybe soon it will be.
Sun and HP are Windows are still more widely used (rightly or wrongly)
