It is not uncommon for software vendors to optimize for a specific platform architecture, ie specific versions of an application or O/S optimised for Intel as 64-bit Itanium, Xeon, .... (it was certainly the case a few years ago that Weblogic was optimized for 32-bit Intel Xeon processors).

It is far far less common for the chip manufacturers to optimize their instruction set for a specific O/S.

Therefore I question what you have written above. Could you provide a reference to back up the following statement please? Windows what, 3.1, NT, 200, XP, Me, Home, 32bit, 64bit ? And I am also unsure how your statement relates to Stephs original question on a certified O/S for Oracle. Could you elaborate?
