Actually, this isn't correct. The latest shipping version of the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle worked fine with Oracle Client 8.0.x/8i. In fact, in independent testing by Oracle Support the Microsoft ODBC Driver performed better than Oracle's ODBC Driver and both the Oracle and Microsoft OLE DB Providers available when 8i shipped.
