Julie,
That's very interesting. I missed the Eclipse Classic 3.5.2 (Windows 64-bit)
download. I didn't see it.
Best regards,
Harry

My Windows 7 development stack is 64-bit Java and Galileo, native (no linux
virtual machine) and has about the same 1-minute performance you describe to
start the emulator and app. But once you get it running, you don't need to shut
it down to start an updated version of your app - it will hot-swap the .apk and
restart it pretty quickly.
