Simple, out-of-the-box install on a raw Windows 7 Home install? Or using install workarounds like setting the 'Run as Batch', and possibly playing with network and group stuff, which is often not really accessible in a native Windows Home install without some additional utilities.
I know a number of people are in the "I have it working because I was able to make it work" category. But I've spent more than too-many-hours helping people 'make it work' over the years, and now simply resort to saying "while possible, it doesn't play nicely - yoyo".
Oracle's documentation implicitly excludes the 'Home' variants by listing only the Pro (and higher where applicable) for a reason.
