[Quoted] The simple operations that we tried on NT involved things like reading a 2.5 million row table and deleting rows based on certain conditions. NT 4.0 took more than twice as much as Solaris X86.

Both instances were unchnaged and installed with default settings. I thought that was fair enough.

[Quoted] Also I like being able to access and modify my toys from home or when I am travelling. NT not only does not provide a decent shell, it does not let me log in from remote locations. And no, I will not [Quoted] install sql*net and oracle utilities on every machine I can possibly access my toys from.
