Oracle especially with large databases definitely runs better on a Unix
platform. By better I mean faster for the same hardware and more reliably.
However your choice would I suggest be better dictated by which OS is better
for your organisation from an administrative point of view. Ifg your
organisation is full of NT experts why install a sun box? OTOH if you leave
& breath Unix then NT would be an um .. problematic.. choice
