So smart companies waited until the next release of the OS aimed at
serious business use rather than using something designed primarily for
home use?  I think 'smart' is high accolade for companies that simply
applied a modicum of common sense.

Anyway, I have used XP almost exclusively for the past 8-9 years and
Windows 2000 prior to that.  No significant compatibility problems with
development hardware and software in that time.

My company is moving everyone to 64 bit Windows 7, so VMWARE will no
doubt play a big role in my future :(
