It's not the copy that won't work.... that part WILL work. But unless the file layouts, block sizes etc are IDENTICAL between OS's it's not going to even be possible it might work.

Even if they are identical, Oracle still won't support it (at least not until 10g from what I gather about 10g) so you are out of luck.

Otherwise you could do it as a transportable tablespace as well I would imagine.
