I haven't tried to run the test on XP recently (it is a production workstation, after all), but the last time I risked it was locked up hard.

OTOH, a windows machine is almost useless, unless you're a member of local administrators group (which includes "backup" permission). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
