Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: (Win2K vs NT4) / RE: OT RE: Async I/O on Windows
Ever since I got a cool little animated cartoon icon of Capt. Haddock (in the Tintin books from Belgium) with smoke coming out his pipe to replace my windows "houglass", i *LOVE* logging onto METALINK and waiting!!!

AIX is not an option. We have a choice of NT4 or Win2k as the LAN servers that our central campus NetworkGods/SAs will "support" for departmental database projects. Just asking them to do network support for a few special case Win2k pro desktops elicited the same horrified looks that would greet a proctologist driving around in a rotorooter truck, so asking for AIX probably isn't too good an idea. :)
Anyway, here is the ink from METALink:
