Datastage on Unix vs Datastage on Windows

Unix servers can get massively huge, so if you're running Server or PX on a 64 cpu machine hooked to a fast disk farm, you'll blow away a lot of the Windoze machines out there. But, those Intel chips can be wicked fast. A linux on Intel/AMD solution can be a great compromise. I'd go that route if a smaller size platform is desired.

Im not so familiar with most computer games, though i believe its one of the reasons Windoze is popular.

For Datastage I'd personally stick to various flavors of UNIX. I worked with DS on windoze for about 3 years and on Unix for 2 years , all great development work however took place with Unix version.[If you dont mind the hidden dangers of rm /cp/mv commands]

Windoze might be better for RPG.
