We are doing VMWare testing for 98,ME,NT4,2000,XP, and XP Pro against
Outlook 2000/2002/XP.
So far all the platforms (clean install of OS and Outlook) actually seem to
work.
We do heavy testing on Outlook 2000/20002 on Windows XP and XP Pro. They
both work fine,
but toolbar image buttons are problematic on 20002. There is a known bug
described on MSDN and
at some point we'll try the five listed work arounds and see if one works.

We got past some install problems through endless tinkering with the build
process. Wish I knew
which tinker fixed what. I do know that moving the build env to stock Python
2.2.2, and forcing the
binary to use a good bsddb3 was a good thing.

All of our work is off a snapshot current at 4/23/2003 in CVS.
