Our environment:

Multiple applications, multiple DB instances, multiple environments (DEV, QA, Production), intranet, extranet and internet, mostly backends to web sites, including a commercial site with an online storefront. The databases are not huge, like our data warehouse, but aren't tiny either. They support our online product catalogs, etc. Hundreds of users, but with by far the majority of access to the DB's being read-only access for dynamic construction of web pages. I'd guess that approximately 80% of the activity (currently) is readonly.  I expect that to change drastically in the near future. You can assume that the DBA's can adequately deal with either OS.

Thank you,
  Jennifer Amon
