I think that people should put NT vs. UNIX into perspective here. I agree that NT already outsells UNIX in terms of volume and will probably outsell UNIX in terms of dollar amount soon. But do not make the mistake that because NT outsells UNIX then all the enterprise and technical computing will be done on NT. Let's remember NT beats UNIX on price, but not performance. we should not automatically assume that because NT beats UNIX in sell all companies will run their database on NT. I still believe that most companies that need transaction heavy database will still run the database on UNIX. So NT will hurt direct competitor like SUNW, SGI. But it will not hurt Oracle as much as those companies. Besides Oracle on NT is still way better than sqlserver. I read in an article earlier that MSFT keeps raising the price on NT with every release. People are wondering how much a price/performance advantage will NT have when it becomes really stable. Same can be said about sqlserver. Even MSFT needs to recoup the money they pour into NT and sql*server. They are in those market to make a buck also. About 40% return in the long run for Oracle? hey, I will settle with 30-35% for the next 3-4 years.
