I think we are in agreement. A multi-platform vendor like Oracle always faces hard decisions of when to make their product look the same across all platforms and when to use special features of a particular platform. We have all probably been the victim of bad decisions on both scores.
Myself, I just like the idea that both vendors might talk. I have some developers that insist on accessing Oracle through .NOT. There is very little documentation from either Oracle or Microsoft. Especially when it comes to writing .NOT programs that don't pull the entire Oracle table across the network (which is the default, near as I can tell).
As far as getting all Oracle developers to become real Microsoft heads, that might not be feasible or desirable. Maybe we could hope the few Oracle developers that write code that interfaces the O.S. could become more knowledgeable in both worlds.

Supporting Oracle on Windows is not the same issue as making development of Windows based apps with std Windows tools easy to do.
There are at least 2 issues here:
The second one is more difficult.
