I've worked with numerous Oracle 7.x Installations on Windows NT, including some fairly large ones. I don't know of any problems or difficulties with it. Installation is certainly easier than an Oracle unix installation. If the NT machine you are using is also doing other things (File or Print Services for example) that will certainly detract from performance (of course).

If you have any specific questions or worries, please let me know.
