I dunno. Today I completed an install of 8.1.7.4 (9i not supported yet by vendor) on a brand new Windohs 2000 Server, SP4 (Tuke3 Server also not yet supported). It's really fun when explorer.exe crashes three times during the install / DB create, not to mention having to explode out the entire CD to rename symcjit.dll because of a P-IV bug in Windohs. Did I mention the reboots required to get the Registry crap settled?

Windohs aside, a twin hyperthreaded 3.2Ghz Xeon with four RAID-1s and a RAID-10 setup is fun to work on... :)

Happy Valentines Day!

My 2 cents...

Most of the complaints I see about Oracle on Win here are either:

By people doing it for the first time, or who rarely do it.
By people who are doing Oracle for the first time, or rarely do it.

I actually like Oracle on Win, and I agree with Tom, I've had few problems with it.

I agree that installing service packs is maddening, but don't most Unix OS upgrades of any great import seem to require a reboot?
