Yes, I run windows some.  I've used NT, 2000 and now XP.  I've not seen it make
any difference.  I don't see _how_ it could make any difference.  Crafty doesn't
use significant operating system resources when running.  If you run other
applications in addition to crafty, of course you'd expect significant
interference.  But, for the record, running on XP compared to Linux has XP
running significantly faster for Crafty, due to the microsoft compiler as
opposed to GCC which lags behind significantly...
