RE: (Win2K vs NT4) / RE: OT RE: Async I/O on Windows

From what I know, Oracle8 is not yet
formally certified on Win2K, believe it
or not. But, I could be way wrong about this.

Anecdotally, I have colleagues running every from clients through Net8 Names Servers to database servers on Win2K. Typical Win2K uptime, about..well, since they plugged it in, several months ago.

Punchline: As a migration from NT4, NT5 (i.e. Win2K) is noticeably better in terms of stability and performance. If you asked me to compare Win2K and current version AIX, i'd pick the latter.

Ross & Mark,
There are no major performance concerns here (and we get Oracle "free" {system wide educational site license} - unlike MS/SQL), so what I want to know is: does Oracle8 generally work well on Windows 2000 server (compared to running it on NT4)? We will be running on this hardware: IBM Netfinity5100 w/ RAID (dedicated Oracle server, w/ web server on same box, if possible).

My assumption is that Win2k/Oracle8 is "ok". Are there any horror stories out there about running Oracle8 on Win2K where running on NT4 would have been better?

thanks!
