How about trying SECURITY and STABILITY?

The risk to your data from viruses and hacking is very substantially increased being on Solaris.

And while it is normal to run a Solaris-Oracle box 7x24x365 I have yet to find any NT server that could last 30 days without a reboot or a crash and burn.

You might also point out the fact that Fortune 500s such as Boeing, US West, AT&T, etc. all put their Oracle onto Solaris, HP/UX, Sequents ... some version of UNIX. And that they are doing it for a reason.
