Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
Rich,
Hmmm. Cheap. Too bad, we aren't a big Sun shop (not on the buy list these days - can you say "Its Better Manual"). :-)
I wonder if I could get one of these for home. Nah. $2,000 U.S. is like $50,000 Cdn.
Its difficult to keep options open in a "closed restrictive environment", where everyone is in their own little silo. The problem with large IT shops. Very structured and very bureaucratic.
