Meta Link says Windows Vista x64 - Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions are the supported versions for V11.
Does anyone know if Oracle V11 works on Vista Home Premium x64?

I don't know. I can only tell you that the following combination works for me and I don't see any difference in how the certifications are listed. I remember that there have been a few issues in the past where there seemed to be conflicting information on whether some Oracle product was certified for or would work on a home version or required a business/professional version of the older windows operating systems. I used to run 9i Enterprise Edition and 10g Express Edition on one Windows XP Home Edition machine, although a lot of people said Windows XP Pro was required. I believe most of these things revolved around the lack of networking capabilities in the home version. When I installed 11g on my system, I paid very close attention to all of the messages during installation and followed the instructions to create a loopback adapter:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32006/reqs.htm#BABGCEAI
I think perhaps the people that have trouble with installations or functionality have ignored the warnings and failed to follow these additional detailed steps. I have not experienced any problems that I didn't cause (remember the pfile/spfile archive log mess you helped me out of?).

I forgot to mention that I do get an operating system window with the following error:
nmefwmi.exe stopped working and was closed
There are various threads about this on OTN:

Apparently it is related to Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Yes, the network connectivity could be the problem that would prevent it from being really supported or certified I guess.
I remember back in the NT 4.0 days we could basically run most of our test installations and test instances on a Workstation version to do your debugging, but we needed a Server version for production because among other things the number of possible network connections was limited in the Workstation version.
Also, I don't know how limited the user permission setup is in Vista Home. Maybe there are some limitations there, too, which would prevent it from being a really supported platform, but wouldn't matter much in a test environment.
