One last piece of info...from a database/client connectivity
perspective, I think this should work OK but it's not officially
supported. Check out Metalink 207303.1 for specifics. Basically, the
8.1.7 client WAS supported for 10.2 but is no longer. Client 9.2.0.4
and above is supported for 10.2.0 if the customer has Extended Support.

Thanks everyone for your prompt replies. And on a holiday week at that!
I've passed your replies along to the Windows administrators to help
them make a decision.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

I was running 8i home with both 10G and 11G homes on the same

without any troubles.
these were database homes though, but I don't see any immediate
reasons why it would work for a database and wouldn't for a
client
