I also work with Win7-SP1 and MPLABX from first beta witout problems. My
Hardware is a Dual Core E52'00 with 2GB of RAM. It is not terrible fast,
but works ok. I also have an Asus 1210N netbook with 1GB RAM also on
Win7-SP1 and, much slower, but also runs it. From time to time I update
Java and everything still works fine. My current version is build 1.7.0_60.
