I've had reliability problems with much smaller db's in MS SQL Server and Access under NT. In MS SQL Server, I lost a database one month ago without no apparent cause.
As people report that Oracle on NT is still no as mature as the Unix version, I would recommend against it, even if I had no direct experience with it. It's just that NT 5 isn't there yet, and it is still to be seen if it will be as stable as NT 4 SP3 -- which is no wonder.
Just my 2¢.
