Maturity of 64-bit *nix is a significant advantage in my book.

Subject: *nix vs MS
Everyone,
We have a fairly large, truly mission critical database (Oracle
9.2.0.6) at a remote site that is currently running on Microsoft. In the
past, others have tried to convince mgmt that the system would be more
reliable on a unix os, but no one has ever been successful in obtaining a
project to make the change.
To my way of thinking, the strongest case for moving this database to unix
is the track record of this application; it has had far more than it's share
of issues (bad backups, system crashes, corrupt blocks, hung processes, cpu
spikes and so on) even though it already gets more care and feeding than
other databases. (majority of our databases are
*nix) This is one aspect of what will be presented.
That being said, for those of you who prefer unix, what are your best
arguments for choosing unix for an Oracle database? What are the drawbacks?
We'd like to make sure we uncover all the pros and cons.
Any input is appreciated,
Robyn
