The development of Windows 7

I am trying to determine if a move to a 64-bit Windows 7 environment could improve my development time. I used the SEARCH option on the forum and read the messages, but they all seem dated 2010/2011 and these messages are a bit scary! For what it's worth...

Development course:

Memory 2 giga Sony VAIO WIndows XP (max) 1.86 GIGHZ Pentium M (about 6 years)

Java 1.3.0 BB plugin

Targeting of the JRE 5.0.0

Feature: 9330

I use the 'hot - fix"code technigues and am able to avoid restarting Simulator (finally!) but I still spend a third of my day waiting for something (debugger setting, project, whatever). It's too inefficient and costly, that we charge our customers every hour!

Proposal for a new Machine: Sony VAIO series Z, 8GIG memory i7 Quad Core Windows 7 64 bit with all the bells/whistles.

I'm all for spending money (above is $2 +) on the latest hardware equipment provided:

1. it has a significant impact on the reduction of the above-mentioned waiting time. (On a 9 hour day, I spend a good 2.5 hours waiting on something. This corresponds to $250 / day or $1250 / week, I have to charge my clients to look at different progress bars, attaching debugger..., etc.! It is difficult to compete with that.

2. it does not introduce any new problems (some positions are a little scary when it comes to simulators and Eclipse).

Missions, it seems that the best way to develop on the 64-bit environments must run in a virtual XP environment. My concern there would be limits on the size of the memory, which is the machine a 8GIG but still only have to WHAT XP can answer? I could certainly live with the virtual environment, as long waiting times mentioned above are reduced and I have other new questions!

Is there additional information, for example a white paper, forums, discussions that are more recent or that I simply missed?

Thank you!

Sure.

I do not install under program (x 86) because on Win7, it is a protected directory and you will need to remember to run it in administrator mode or things like etc updates may fail. By default, he really wants to install in your home like c:\User\\AppData directory... that is so stupid just because this is a protected directory and who can remember where it is. So I just make a new directory Genuitec (the company that develops my Eclipse) and use that as a basis for my installation directory.

Also make sure that you are using the 32-bit version of my Eclipse and a jre 32 bit as 64 JRE has some limitations.

I have install the simulators in the default directory for example "Smartphone of C:\BlackBerry 7.1.0\7.1.0.98 simulators (9900) \9900.bat" and use the Blackberry Update site to install the jre BB etc.

Do not use the XP mode for this, I have never found the need

Use it throughout the day in this way.
