I have been running Oracle on NT (from 7.1 to 8.0) at home for development for some time now and never had it crash on me (and I can do the weirdest thing when developing :-) ).

As for production OLTP, one of my clients are running Oracle 7.3 on NT (using Compaq h/w) for an OLTP application. Not too sure what the transaction volumes are, or the number of users, but as far as I know they have very little problems with Oracle on NT - except of course for NT's shitty command line language that makes scripting hell.
