[Quoted] It may not be clear from my original post, but I was complaining about Oracle's client building tools, such as Forms & Reports, not their database server. The consensus that my Oracle using coworkers and I have about Oracle is that their database servers are generally very good, but their client building tools stink, at least, leave something to be desired.

Our database server is on a HP K400 running HP-UX 10.20 and it generally holds up pretty well, after applying a patch or two. Haven't ran Oracle Server on NT, so I don't know what that's like.
