Re: Oracle vs Microsoft SQL Server

there is no question Oracle runs well on NT. It may actually run a lot better than SQL Server. I just don't want to bet against the vendor who wrote the OS. I hope Microsoft doesn't dominate the NT market 5 years later because I like Oracle better than MS SQL Server. but they probably will. that's what I think, not what I like to see.
