Also, if any of the newer windows client replacements are mature enough
to actually use (and have decent documentation), please point me in that
direction. BBWin development seems to have completely stalled, and last
time I went looking for a replacement, none of the other projects I
found were even ready for alpha, much less production.
I have a lot of Windows clients in BBWin local mode, but I am doing my
central mode experimentation on Server 2008 R2, which is only available
in a 64-bit flavor.
Thanks,
Shawn
