Mike,
This seems to be a fairly common question, and which there seems to a lot of confusion about right now. In earlier postings (and in no way am I acting as a spokesperson for Oracle), I indicated that the products you mention above are not *Oracle*-certified for NT 4.0. If you attempt to call support right now with a bug/problem, and you indicate that you're on NT 4.0, support may be limited as to how much assistance they can lend you. Upcoming releases of Oracle products will be NT 4.0 certified (by Oracle).
I am currently running Universal Server 7.3.2.2.0 on Workstation 4.0, replication, spatial, distributed, and ConText options, and I haven't run into any problems. If this were a production system, I would be hesitant to deploying on NT 4.0 right now. You will probably notice that performance of NT 3.51, in general, is better anyway.
