Re: Microsoft Windows, will rule in the next 8 years in the market

Hi Niall, the link from Roby Sherman doesn't work http://www.interealm.com/technotes/roby/pentmark.html but here is the explanation
http://builder.com.com/5100-6388-5054452.html  "From perspective of performance, RedHat Linux 7.2 demonstrated an average performance advantage of 38.4 percent higher RDBMS throughput than a similarly configured Windows 2000 Server in a variety of operational scenarios."

About the suggestion of using linux, there was a indirect suggestion from Oracle, I remember, the decision to move to linux was too an attitude from Oracle to suppor Linux, I remember some one in Oracle said up to some date a group of workers will be using linux, and in that time created on otn.oracle.com a page only for linux. I don't remember the links, but I think you can find on google.
