Installing on Windows is actually considerably simpler, because you don't have to worry about setting kernel parameters, environment variables, and the umask; you don't have to make sure that the right versions of a dozen different packages are installed; and at the end of the install there is no linking, which means the install finishes more quickly.

One nice similarity between *nix and Windows installs is that since the OUI is written in Java, Oracle was able to keep the interface identical across platforms. It's refreshingly familiar to those of us who have to work cross-platform.
