But Personal Oracle is not a server, it's primary design is for the
workstation market. How many users who want a light weight database use NT
or Linux as an operating system? If they don't support personal Oracle on
Win95 why bother having personal Oracle at all? Personally I'd prefer NT
with Oracle Server on my workstation, and Win98 with Personal Oracle on my
laptop (NT + Oracle Server brings even high spec laptops to there knees!).
