Windows always poses its own challenges. :) That's why I have the VM (and three others for older versions of windows, that just aren't on all the time like that one is) to begin with*, for testing out my day-job work. I'll give it a go; I have all the software needed to run the buildbot on it already besides VC Express, which I'm installing now. If ultimately it becomes too much of a pain, I'll go back to just providing the mac. But, I actually have a vested interest in upgrading our Python to 64-bit in the next few months, so! I'm motivated. I'll let you know when I have everything installed so you can add a buildslave account. -- Stephen Hansen ... Also: Ixokai ... Mail: me+python (AT) ixokai (DOT) io ...
