Hi Anatole,

I'm glad you got your system working.

On your last question, are you asking specifically about the DropBox  
functionality of omero.fs? At present DropBox is limited by the access  
to the underlying file-system notification system. If you do have a  
need for DropBox then I can raise a ticket to investigate it for Vista/ 
Server 2008.

Cheers,

Colin
