Re: RAC platform usage

RAC on windows is relatively common - certainly common enough that we are running a hands on "build a RAC" day at the UKOUG windows sig in June. Last time I saw some figures Oracle's windows sales were about 30-40% (by volume not value) of their database sales and lets face it selling a clustering solution on a platform commonly believed to be unreliable for single servers is probably not the hardest sales pitch in the world - especially for those SE shops where there is not extra dollar cost. My understanding is that Itanium is a platform with a pretty poor takeup.
