I watch this discussion and only one question is still in my head:how much people use Windows for server side part of
stableapplication based Oracle or DB2? Why my employer spend a lot of money withSGI cluster + IRIX?
 
_IMHO_ if you want support Windows, please, write good tools for admins, DB designers and developers (forms?). The
serveris really not a problem if you think about real DB application. There is more important things in ourTODO than
supportGUI-OS for server running... (IMHO:-)   Karel
