Probably not yet.
You have to have NT Cluster Server & Oracle Parallel Server that supports it. Currently NT Cluster supports two machine cluster sharing disks.

>Is it possible to run multithreaded server on NT?

No.
But it has no reason to run it.
NT natively supports threads and Oracle on NT uses it. So you have one oracle process per instance which has many threads: PMON, SMON, /etc and threads similiar to user processes in UNIX. Advantages are obvious --- for example memory savings.

If NT was a bit more stable it would be great solution.

Yes. It is possible to run multiple instaces. But you'd better not mixing RDBMS versions.
