[wp-testers] Re: tried again... still not right...

XAMPP for Windows works amazingly well on a Windows machine and it's 
fairly easy to install and setup. Keep in mind though that there are 
certain quirks with a local WordPress sandbox using XAMPP that you may 
or may not see with an online host. For example, I have a locally 
installed WordPress "sandbox" on a XAMPP install on Windows XP Pro that 
never manages to get through the core auto upgrade process but works 
fine for theme and plugin auto-updates. However, auto upgrades of the 
core work with no problem for my online sites (Bluehost).

I find XAMPP very handy though for checking out problems with plugins, 
themes and the majority of WordPress functions (and new versions of 
course) but results and performance will vary depending on your 
computer's setup.
