I have been using a Windows XP system up to now to develop djgpp programs. To be able to run e.g. the latest virus scanner on my PC I need to move to Windows 7 or later. I guess my Windows XP system is already the member of several bot networks.

What is the recommended environment to develop djgpp programs then? Should I use a Virtual PC, Qemu or else? Or should I setup a Linux system instead?

Booting DOS is too slow for me since I then have to run a long file name driver which makes it much slower than a command window on Windows XP.

Georg
