No it isn't. But then 8i isn't supported at all from about 2 weeks time so who really cares.

I've seen a number of posts in c.d.o.s with problems on win2k3 and some replies along the lines of well it worked for me so you must be stupid :( . 817 definitely does work on XP workstation which is a similar, but not identical, codebase to win2003 server.

I'd probably choose win2k, just because I know it works *and* there is a large similar installed base out there. My hunch is that win2k3 would *work* but might be more unusual.

p.s. actually I'd probably test 9.2 and the 9i client, figuring I have
more leverage over the app supplier than Oracle Corp, but that's just
me.
