Win7 x64. We have a few mod editors out, what exactly is yours going to do?

Good luck with your development. Doing things like this is a good way to learn coding.

Though you have a long road to haul to do the things I've done with my plugin and convince those already using Eclipse to give up it's features. There may still be an audience of modders though that don't have the technical exposure to use Eclipse and could benefit from a simpler tool with less features to be overwhelmed with. 

primary development on xp x86 pro, secondary development/primary testing on w7 64bit ultimate, secondary testing/debugging on w7 32bit & vista 32bit & 64bit, all english language, you might also want to set up a non-english language to do international targeted development as a few of the modders/players are using localized versions of windows (non-english)

I think you will find the majority of us use Windows 7 64 bit in some form (home, or pro). There are still a few die hard XP users still out there. Not that there is anything wrong with that. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

I dont know about windows 8 yet. From what i am seeing, and hearing so far it isnt all that. I think many will stick with Win 7 for a while.

The reviews so far say windows 8 is a solid OS, BUT they almost all trash the new UI in some way for its inability to open more than one program, or window at a time. Which was the cornerstone of Windows to begin with. Plus its vague access of programs we could easily access with windows 7. Yea that is the risk when you change "everything".

I am sorry, but i need to be able to surf the web, have XSI, Photoshop, SoTSE dev, and beyond compare open at the same time. Also to switch seamlessly between them, or have multiple windows open on my screen. It seems they made Windows 8 for the people that have ADD, and that can't multitask. In other words they over-simplified it. In doing so they made things much more complicated.
