Approx. 4 months after the Linux release, the Windows version of 11gR2 arrived on OTN silently.


Just 64bit version for the moment, but I’m sure the 32bit version will follow soon. Considering the fact there is nothing on corporate blogs or on eDelivery, I’m sure they will make it public after both version will be available, most probably after Easter.

Regarding the version itself, I used the beta versions and will definitely recommend it.

LATER UPDATE (6th of April): 32bit version has just arrived on OTN here.

Enjoy!

Download the latest 11g release (11.1.0.6 now) and don’t be scared about the size 🙂
If you have a Metalink account, you can also download the last update (11.1.0.7 now, patchset 6890831) and don’t be scared about the size 🙂
