Does Oracle certify against the latest Windows service packs?
Oracle certifies against the specific Microsoft operating system and, if applicable, service packs (SPs) stated in the Oracle product documentation. Oracle will support the use of our products on any later SP as soon as that SP becomes generally available. Depending upon the severity, quantity and impact of the SP-related issues found, Oracle may recommend that customers wait until relevant Oracle patches have been released before upgrading to a particular SP. Oracle may recommend or discourage the installation of specific SPs if the SPs will significantly affect the operation of Oracle software, either positively or negatively. If such a statement is deemed necessary, then Oracle Development will disseminate this statement in as timely a fashion as possible after the release of an SP.
