SAP On Microsoft Windows Server and Oracle

Hello,

I need your help here,

Is it stable to run SAP On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 / 2012 with Oracle 11g / 12c database. I know Windows environment is prone to more security vulnerabilities than Linux so we might be exposed to more testing cycles each time patches are applied to Windows.

We want to understand What’s the stability of SAP applications running on Windows?

And  is it cost effective to go with Windows compared to Linux OS

If any of you running your SAP on Windows, how do you manage to apply OS Patches and how frequent?

Appriceate your resonse on this..

Thanks,
Guru
