Re: Oracle Certification ?? and Windows XP???

Go to groups.google.com and search for XP 8.1.7 to see what others have said about this. It sounds like some have gotten it installed and running.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no personal version of 9i, so if you want to run at home you might want to run out and get a copy of 98SE and install that.
