I can confirm from first hand experience that you don't even want to try to
get 8.0.6 running on any Windows version newer than NT 4. When Windows 2000
was first released I was working with a client that wanted to deploy on it
instead of NT 4 as originally planned, and also planned to upgrade to Oracle
8.0.5 from 7.3.4 at about that time. They insisted we test against 8.0.5,
so rather than mess up our primary Oracle development platform I tried
installing 8.0.5 on Win2K. Big mistake. After 2 weeks of working with
Oracle Support (a great team, BTW) we threw in the towel.
