Aan aside to the XP mode in Win7. I do all uC development in a Windows XP VM. This lets me move it =20 around between my WinXP laptop, Macbook and Win7 PC. It also means I =20 can snapshot the VM before installing MPLAB or compiler upgrades, =20 saving a lot of frustration! All the hardware I use works including a PICKit2 clone, a real PICKit3 =20 and a number of USB->serial converters. I never have any trouble with =20 the order things are plugged in. It is also nice to suspend the VM, =20 upon restart VMware will reconnect any USB devices that were =20 transferred to the host. Everything copes with rebooting & sleeping =20 of either host or guest. I have a Saleae on order which is the only thing I'll end up running =20 outside the VM, due to the warnings about USB speed.
