Do all share the same address space or does each instance get it's own copy of Oracle.exe and it's own 2g address space?

> We are running 11 instances on WinNT with no problems! At one point, we
had
> 26 instances. they are all development instances, so volumn and load are
> low. but they all share one Oracle Home.
