Since you prefer to challenge my statement than to look at the reference document at http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_prod_fam.pdf I copy the pertainent section (from page 6) here

Oracle9i Personal Edition is available on Windows2000, Windows NT, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit). It includes at no extra cost all features and options that are available with Oracle9i Enterprise Edition, such as Oracle Partitioning and Oracle Advanced Security, with the exception of the Oracle Real Application Clusters option.

I'd say that's pretty explicit. On page 2, it also states that Personal and Enterprise are 100% compatible.

Yes, it tells you it's Personal Oracle - possibly because the options (Spatial, Olap, etc.) are legitimately loaded. Possibly to remind you that the license only allows 1 user to access it, and that is a Named, not Concurrent user.
