Just curious, why are you using such a dev environment like the one you describe for writing BlackBerry apps? Why can't you get a more up-to-date setup? I can't see any reason to develop in WinXP anymore.

Believe me, I can't see any either. They are company issued laptops that need to follow certain security procedures. I brought in my mac and ported my code, had like a week of GREAT development before 2 "officials" from the information security team demanded I delete any and all code in front of them. You are absolutely not allowed to use anything beyond the company hardware and software, and I got the short end of the stick as all the good machines have already been "leased" for other projects.
If there is a god he will deliver me from this place.

Yeah, I think the problem is the place you work with, not so much BlackBerry development itself. Though I don't blame you for having a tainted view of it because of these kind of asinine policies as a result.
