hi,

i just gave the 8.1.5 a test on windows nt:
export 3 GB Database from 7.3.3 (digital unix)
import into a ibm netfinity 5500 1GB memory 2 processors 2x RAID1 4GB

no problems installing/importing/running the database
performance was quite good (only windows nt as a bottleneck :-)
enterprise manager also worked smoothly.

8i seems to be quite stable.

(but i will migrate our production db to 8.0.5.1 on digital unix)
