I have found windows to be a pain with arduino. I started to use Ubuntu 11.01. I am finding it so quick and helpful. I have also found out that I only need a 16G SSD drive. It is so fast now. Trying new programs out and making changes can mess things up. I just run my image and I have a complete new system in 10 mins. I cannot do that with Windows. Just a great way to try new programs and do development.
