I think "only just" is the operative word, this is typical of the accuracy of information you receive from Oracle people (especially in the Marketing area).

This statement would lead you to think that it is available as a product under Windows. What is available is a Beta release, that is very difficult to install and get working( Since we are next door to Oracle in the UK, Oracle support gave up with the telephone, and poped over to see use, he then spent almost a day trying to get it installed and working).
