[Coco] Drivewire

[Bill Nobel]

  For myself Steve I would go more of a bottom end Win 7 if it is exclusively for drivewire, Vista was a little buggy 7 is more stable.  I use both Mac and PC myself along with a slower Drivewire on a Raspberry Pi.

I just recently had to revert back to WinXP when the MB on my Quadcore Vista machine failed. It was horrible.. not enough speed, not enough ram... Needless to say, I was glad to get my main machine running again and everything is back up to speed.
