I sympathise - sorting out a (virtual) 64bit Windows machine has been on
my TODO list for a while, since right now I don't have access to one.

When I started doing Biopython my primary machine was Windows XP.
That old laptop has retired and I now mainly use Mac OS X and Linux at
work, but I made a point of getting a Windows XP machine setup for
development (e.g. the Windows installers are build with this) and for
use as one of our nightly build slaves:
