Paul -
I was talking units not revenue. One of the concerns at Oracle is that revenue per unit is much lower for NT than Unix, so this shift puts lots of growth pressure on the sales team to maintain the revenue base.

Depending on how many units of NetWare 5 servers are sold, Oracles largest volume of install Oracle will be NetWare. That is because a 5 user version of Oracle is included in each package of NetWare.

Oracle sales on NT for the most part will be for smaller departmental or regional database distribution services. Most IT shops would not consider using NT as an enterprise DB platform for Oracle.
