OK.
OTOH - isn't supported usually means there's trouble ahead. Not certified just means Oracle did not find time, resources or whatever to run all regression tests.

Fresh install of 8.1.7, followed by 9iAS, interConnect, Workflow.

As a lot of stuff, like a virus scanner, was missing, I guess pretty standard XP. Oh - and SP1.
