Oracle Type NT SVR-PE SVR-SE SVR-EE client Windows 95 WS N Y N N Y Windows 98 WS N Y N N Y Windows 98 SE WS N Y N N Y Windows ME WS N Y N N Y Windows NT WS WS Y Y Y Y Y Windows NT SVR SVR Y N Y Y Y Windows 2K pro WS Y Y Y Y Y Windows 2K SVR SVR Y N Y Y Y Windows 2K AS SVR Y N Y Y Y Windows 2K DC SVR Y N Y Y Y Windows XP home WS Y Y Y Y Y Windows XP office WS Y Y Y Y Y Windows XP 64 WS Y Y Y Y Y The above is only my "best guess", there may be mistakes. My guess is based on the following understanding or assumptions: 1.Windows platforms can be categorized into workstations and servers, as well as by whether NT is applied. 2.Oracle server SE (standard edition) & EE (enterprise edition): they seem to be installable on both Windows servers and NT platforms. 3.Oracle server PE (personal edition): they are installable on non-NT platforms, but not sure about NT workstations. 4.The Windows XP which is to be published on Oct. 25th are all workstations (home, office, 64-bit), the server counterpart, Microsoft .net servers will be pulbished on June 2002. I don't have information about .net servers, please include them, if possible. 5.Oracle clients: installable on all Windows platforms. 6.Oracle 8, 8i, or 9i: Oracle versions are not distinguished in the table, there may be subtle differences accross versions. Hope someone who knows this can correct my mistakes or make a new complete list to replace this tentative one. Thanks in advance. Dino
