   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.
