Hi Hironori, That's not a stupid question at all. I haven't actually tried using XP mode, or Win 7 at all yet. I will be installing Win 7 as soon as I can get my hands on a copy, and then we should get some Win 7 baselines. Once we have those, and can get some Win 7 build bots configured, then you should be able to stop using XP mode.
I will send out more notes to the list as we get closer to this. -- Dirk 2009/9/15 Hironori Bono (坊野 博典) <hb...@chromium.org>: > Hi Dirk, > > Thank you so much for your great work! > By the way, I have been using XP Mode of Windows 7 (*1) to run layout > tests since I changed my development PC to Windows 7.
