Your purpose? And your version of Oracle?
Since Windows 8 is not a Server environment, there might be limited value in the experiment for an enterprise
But it certainly will be interesting for students and people who want to see what works in a desktop environment and what does not.
I do know that Oracle has not certified any version of Oracle database server on Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 at this time. I remember the challenges we faced when Vista and Windows 7 first appeared, so reporting the efforts of your experiment will likely be appreciated.
Only thing I suggest - start with Pro or Enterprise, as 'Core' ('Home') usually has network, security and other necessary aspects 'limited' and that would add another layer of headache in troubleshooting - if it comes to that.
