Sarah Currier of Intrallect very bravely made a demo of FeedForward’s rather weakly tested Windows XP build to demonstrate interoperability using SWORD. You can find the details over on Neil’s blog.

Choice quote:

FeedForward and the SWORD desktop client were demoed at the recent MDR SIG meeting (see report here), and their benefits were/are obvious.

I’m glad it went well, although I wasn’t there in person, just crossing my fingers and helping Sarah deal with last minute issues. Turns out there were a few bugs and gotchas with Windows XP… and some different bugs and gotchas with Windows Vista. So much for cross-platform coding!
