Windows 7 64-bit support?

[taichichuan]

Greetings!

Can anyone provide a definitive answer as to whether Windows 7 (64-bit) is supported by the 2011 FRC software (WRS C/C++, Netbeans, Labview, Cypress board driver, Driver Station)? Many students are getting new laptops for the holidays or have recent laptops and they are all coming with Windows 7 in 64-bit mode. I'm just trying to head off any compatibility problems before the build season starts. Any Beta-test folks care to comment? I'm sure that I'm not the only one wondering about this and it would be nice to get the answers so we can prepare.

And yes, I know all about Xen, VmWare, KVM, etc. I'm a Linux guy who uses them all of the time. But, I'm trying to find out if I *need* to use them for the team before I go to the trouble of creating a VM solely to run a 32-bit WinDoze version (and all of the USB and Ethernet compatibility problems that a VM brings to the table).

TIA,

Mike
