Not quite - we're talking windows here, which was adapted only when "stable" versions of the product emerged (NT 3.51). Oracle 7 Workgroup Server and 8.0 could not be installed, as there were DLL conflicts.
Oracle 7 did not support the Multi Home installation, nor did 8.0.3 properly... You could hack your way around, tho :)

And 6... Never seen it in a Windows version (which does not mean anything at all, and only shows my brain damage ;) )
