Most people will agree that OAS is more stable on UNIX (particularly Solaris, the platform on which it's developed).
Be prepared for lots of caveats (undocumented "known" bugs, endless stream of patches, upgrades). Be prepared to *read release notes first* - almost every day somebody posts a question to this newsgroup that is answered in the readmes or release notes. In general OAS is definitely not a plug-and-play application - you'll have to tinker with it all the time.
Performance-wise, it *is* fast, and it *is* scalable, as long as you drown it in RAM (especially if you want to run the database and OAS on the same machine).
Those would be my experiences. Specifically, I'm running OAS 4.0.8.1 on NT 4.0, SP 5. I'm sure other people will have had other impressions, and I'd like to hear them, too.
