Oracle 8i already wasn't certified by Oracle for XP. The chances they will ever certify it for a successor are 0, as 8i will be desupported at the end of this year.
I have the feeling they will neither certify 9i for the new Windows release, as most likely Oracle 10i will come out in the near future.
