I believe that Oracle is not advertising anymore Oracle on Windows. And, IIRC, 
Oracle is leaving Oracle-Win platform completely, as for Oracle means way too 
much loss of money (too many support calls that eat the profits.)

So, Windows + Oracle is a legacy (or going-to-be legacy) platform.

Oracle and Red Hat have had a strong partnership for a while now. Wall Street 
is a heavy user of O+RH combo.

If Wall Street trusts O+RH, why not you?
