RE: 10g RAC -- Multiple DB's and mixed OS

>>Those same types of customers could easily get involved with
Linux development

        and participate in the kernels future.

I'm choking on my Bier, Jared! Anyone with intimate knowledge of what Operating System support a GOOD, boutique port of Oracle relies on knows all too well that not even Oracle Corp has managed to influence the Linux Kernel sufficiently! Some of the complete junk they are mainlining
is astounding, and the motives for acceptance of same is generally a bit dubious.

The majority of Linux revenue is desktop, and it shows. 'nuff said. It is a "good enough" situatation I feel.

I think the age-old "world is flat" view of Windows is just that. Now, the "fit" of Oracle software on Windows is ripe for criticism.
