A few weeks ago, Microsoft gave a free three day workshop on Oracle RAC running on Windows 2003 64 bit. The workshop was recorded along with the slide decks and posted at the following site:

The bulk of Oracle's materials cover Linux and RAC. This was really the first time all of it has been comprehensively put together in one spot covering Oracle 10g & Windows 2003.
There's also some side stories in the presentation that cover Windows 2003 & iSCSI. The course materials cover how to install Oracle RAC on Windows 2003 iSCSI with Microsoft's new aquisition of String Bean.
Additionally, Jim Olsen, Sr. Director of Oracle Enterprise Technology Center, gives an excellent introduction to Oracle's vision on grid computing and database server technology. He discusses Real Application Clustering concepts in depth (how they provide scalability and high availability). Oracle's commitment to Windows Server, and Oracle and Microsoft interoperability and partnership are also discussed.
