.Net does refer to an OS (in addition to referring to a platform / group of languages).
To see some information from Oracle on this have a look at http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_id=161546.1&p_database_id=NOT This includes "...In the future Microsoft will be delivering server editions of Windows XP, these will use the Windows .NET Server naming convention. ..." To see some details on Microsoft's web site look at http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/default.mspx "Windows .NET Server 2003 Release Candidate 2 is here." You can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/preview/default.mspx What error does the developer doing the install get? Regards, Bruce Reardon -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, 18 December 2002 10:54 AM .Net is not an OS. The developer (here it comes) doesn't know what he's talking about. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 3:34 PM List: I have a developer trying to install Oracle9i Application Server Release 2 (9.0.3) on a .net server. He's using the install disk for Windows NT and 2000. Needless to say, it gives him an error and throws up. He considers .net just another operating system like np or 2000. I think of it more like a competitor for OAS. At any rate, I can't find any mention of .net on either Metalink or OTN (except how much better OAS is than .net) Does anyone know if Oracle has an application server installation for .net? If so, do you know how I might get it? Is this a silly question? Should I be hanging my head in shame?? Thanks in advance for any information.
