I would be very open to investigating running under Windows while we still have this dependency on CPRS. Having a single system demo is very very useful.
Plus I'm all for dogfooding a puppy as well.

I am particularly interested in qemu/puppy (http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/index.html) and colinux (http://www.colinux.org) which run at the same time as windows xp off a usb flashdrive without a reboot of ms windows. So you could put it together with vista on a 256 MB flashdrive for your own convenience. colinux currently has the advantage of looking to the LAN like a spare linux box with its own ip address using a TAP device, though the next version is going to use slirp, which is simpler. Puppy is an amazingly well-put-together-for-such-a-small-footprint distribution. It is free but not Free in parts. colinux is better integrated with windows, but more alpha. puppy would need to be tortured a bit to work with TAP or slirp. I would suggest you look into torturing a puppy, it looks like it would be fun.
