Well, that's his call I guess. I'd hate to boot out of my regular
environment to develop. Perhaps running inside a VM, but if he's not
familiar with Linux, it might be uncomfortable.

On 32-bit Windows, at least, this is really not that hard. While writing
up the Win32 setup procedures on the wiki the other day, I created a
clean Windows (32-bit XP) VM and did the install quickly and
successfully in less than an hour.

Nah, any editor worth its weight in electrons will do this correctly :)

I suppose that is one nice thing about the new LiveCD though.. should be
perfectly adequate for development as well. Maybe we should ask Bob to
include mercurial in the next spin of it so that folks can clone the
repository without having to install another package?
