Alas, people will disagree about what the right thing is.  I'm
generally much more interested in wall-clock time than in CPU time
myself.  If, e.g., I write a program that spends 99.9% of its time
waiting for I/O, the important thing to me is that it may take an hour
of real time to run, not that it might take just one CPU second during
that hour.  Or it it's constantly swapping, etc.  I'd only care about
CPU time if I were on a time-sharing mainframe and charged for
CPU-minutes <0.5 wink>.

Don't think so -- just Win XP and Win64.  There's a Win2K box in the
buildbot farm, but I don't which flavor of Win2K that is.  Win2K is
still in use, but not among hackers  :-)
