Specifically ask about RAC's performance with respect to platform. I saw a demo that HP put on at a WOUG meeting where the NT cluster took 20-30 seconds to fail over. While this isn't earth-shattering, there was mention made that Unix/Linux failover times only took about 1-2 seconds. Might be an issue for e-commerce or such.
Very impressive demo they put on. I especially liked the transparent query failover and load balancing. Da-rool, da-rool. Of course, for us to convert our concurrent user licenses to per-CPU licensing for RAC, well...
