I think, you'd better to say, that for someone without practice it is easier to install Oracle on NT than on unix. I may agree with that. No kernel modifications required (as far as I remember only AIX dynamically tunes its kernel) and so on.
But subsequent management... remote management of NT is usually very poor. On unix that's not a problem.
