Just realized how far this thread has gone over the weekend. And I realize that I didn't say clearly enough my message is not advice, much less [non-]professional advice. It's just an experiment to satisfy my curiosity, because sometimes I have spare time around midnight. Thanks to Jememiah and koert54 for understanding.

To make this thread continue to be of technical rather than political nature, I'd really want to know if someone has a clue why Oracle doesn't allow us to move datafiles between Windows2000 and WindowsNT. It's proved to be working fine, although not by rigorous testing. If Oracle approves it, it may potentially save a lot of customers' time.
