    Turns out XP is generally OK. The reported problem was only on
    specific configurations (some BIOS stuff). Windows 2000 reportedly
    would be hurt but I really think we don't have to care about that too
    much. So, it seems like we wouldn't have to worry too much about it
    and just go ahead with new alignment schemes. I'll update the doc
    this weekend with new information from this now rather large thread.

    Thanks.
