Also given that SQL 2005 has several design changes that specifically are
aimed at it "taking on Oracle" (like changes to transaction concurrency) I'd
go with SQL 2005.

Also, MS has a product on their website (I don't recall the exact URL) that
will take an Oracle app and port to SQL Server.

Personally I wouldn't trust any tool to do more than do a basic port of the
schema. I'd still review ALL your code to make sure it works in a similar
fashion on SQL Server as it does on Oracle (concurrency being a big one,
sequences another).

I would second this.
