Sure, I fell for that line too!!! I was told that Sun Solaris and Windows were the *primary* developement platforms. Meanwhile Forms 4.0.13 has been out for a while on Windows, HP/UX, even SunOS. From what I've now been told - the developers don't even *have* a Sun Solaris system! We also get virtually non-existent support.

So, take that kind of stuff with a grain of salt!!! Besides what is there *primary* platform today can be their tertiary platform next release! Pick your platform based on cost, performance, scalibility, realiability, etc. Don't depend on what Oracle *says* they're using for their primary platform of the day!

That's all I'm going to say.
