I fill bug reports (although I haven't had any service crashes 
recently.)  Everything I filled against the Windows client (and possibly 
the Solaris server, but still testing) seems to be fixed in the latest 
fc.

I can (and have been trying to as often as possible) test clients on 
Windows 2003 Server (SP1 and SP2 beta x86) as they are released.  I do 
not currently have any 64-bit OSes running nor do I have any machines 
running Windows XP or Windows 2000.  If no one else has the time, I can 
setup test systems in a VM and make sure a basic install works, but I 
would not be actively using software in these VMs.  I would assume that 
testing in actual environments would be preferable.

Also, I typically use the Windows cmd prompt myself and don't notice GUI 
issues (which is why I didn't notice that the explorer extention was 
broken until a week ago.  Its been broken on my installs for several 
months.)
