RE: Oracle on NT vs Oracle on Linux

The basic problem is that you've got a huge number of people using Win9x on their desktops, and they figure if they can do their stuff on it, why can't the darn techies figure out how to make MS stuff work as a server. It can't be all *that* big of a deal, right? :)

Why hire a bunch of weird Linux geeks that are socially inept, most of whom are probably more than willing to spread the Unix holy war further into the bowels of an organization's IT culture.

Most of the manager types don't give a rosy rodent's rump about the "purist" arguments that techies come up with.

(Thus you have NT/etc.)
