In a more abstract sense; could we agree to use something like VMWare and do a common 'known-good' install of the whole tool chain? I do my LV Embedded work in a VMWare session. When I go home and need to work on it, I have the whole installation vs two installs with differences. My host PC isn't polluted with beta code, MSVC, and a temp copy of Tornado...
As a group works on a LinkSys target, everyone gets the same install down to the OS.
Food for thought, what do you all think?
