I'm still using XP for dev because it's tried and true and on a hefty

machine with dual monitor support that I don't want to mess with. I do have

two cheapo win/7 machines for testing. I will say they are performing

flawlessly so far. In fact, I'm amazed at how much I got for a few hundred

Me too. I try (but this case shows I'm only so good at it) to keep notes

about all these details in a chm 'dev guide'.
