I have 9.2.0.3 and it`s ok.
I didn`t use it extensively as I`m being held by my application providers. I have patch 2760856 installed but you may not need it it's for OCI

It installs in a much different way than previous versions (DEC$WINDOWS required and also an ODS-5 disk) but is now the same as al the other platforms. Uses Java which will kill your CPU for nothing but slowing down the process, but works ok.
Only problem is that I had to copy the CD on a disk, and modify runinstaller.com to get it to run:

find this line :                                 $  wsext = f$getjpi
("","WSEXTENT")
add this underneath:                       $  wsext = WSEXT_THRESHOLD

This same problem existed with previous releases but was handled differently and caused no harm.

9.2.0.4 is out btw.
