One thing to consider for commercial apps, there are still some folks with business that are running relatively weak machines as compared to what I am running. So I use Virtual PC to make certain my apps still look good in lesser RAM and video configurations. I try to make certain all my apps still look good when using 16 bit color, even though 24/32 bit looks nicer. I have to address the lowest common denominator, or risk having to remove newer, flashier looking icons and color choices if a person were to need to run my stuff on a (goodness!) Win 98 or weaker RAM/video PC. I do have minimum system requirements, and use InstallShield to test for minimum RAM, screen resolution and video capability. Every once in a while I get an eMail or call about the app not being to get installed on some anemic PC <g>...
