Look in the WWW Oracle FAQ (http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/Oracle), I think he says NT 3.5 is a bad idea.

That usually means that they know, but do not want to admit that there is a problem supporting an OS version. (Otherwise people thinking about buying Oracle would say "are you really sure that Oracle won't run on my brand new wizzbang MS NT server? maybe I'll buy SQL Server instead")

Not much. To impugn Oracle's marketing is really just an easy cheap shot!
