We did this same thing 1 year ago with about the same size database.  I 
pre-created all the tablespaces ahead of time on the new database then just did 
a full database datapump export from our 10.2.0.4 database then imported it 
into the new at that time 11.1.0.7 database.  Took a few hours but it worked 
well.

I voted against Windows but was over ruled.  But I do have to say that we have 
not any issues with our database running on Windows, actually we had more 
issues with AIX.

Subject: Convert database from AIX to Windows

Hi all:
There is a proposal to consolidate all hardware platform and we are looking at 
converting the database from IBM/AIX to Windows. What would be the best method 
to do this? Datapump or Transportable tablespace? The database is about 120G 
with2 large tablespaces each about 50-60G. Any gotchas with this conversion?

Thanks,

Manjula
