I cannot tell. I am a long time Unix guy and the vast majority of Oracle RDBMS instances that I ever operated were on some type of Unix. Few of them, mostly versions 5,6 and 7 were on VAX/VMS. I don't have detailed enough knowledge about Windows tools to be able to answer your question. I can only tell you that monitoring Linux/Unix is significantly harder then monitoring of VAX/VMS ever war was. That's called "progress".
