We have multiple workstation configuration/OS, so everything from XP, Vista,
Windows 7 and even a few Linux and Mac... We are also using a mapped network
drive with a everything configured to point to this one. No issues with any of
the workstation configs, the client is installed on a NAS drive that everything
but a few web servers and of course the database servers, use.
I do not want to be responsible for a ton of misconfigured workstation
installs,
(just because somehow it would become a DBA problem.... LOL)

We're running about 600 PCs like that.
The oracle client is installed on a mapped network drive and the logon script
applies the needed registry keys and environment variables.
BTW, I had no trouble installing oracle 10g client on a mapped network drive
(oracle 10.2.0.1 + 10.2.0.4 patchset on windows XP).
