I am a OS neutral guy and I have no issues with either XP or Vista.
So I use XP at work, Vista/Linux/FreeBSD at home. Now I
am typing under Ubuntu 9.10. But I mainly use MPLAB under
Vista for testing firmwares for PIC.

That being said, probably Microchip will fix the issues now that
they are developing a new IDE for Linux and Mac OS X. As
per previous post by Alan Pearce the new IDE will be based
on NetBean. So the associated toolchains will also be ported.
I hope they will then support 64bit Linux.
