Got ahead of myself earlier, it's XP or W7 for the work laptop.
Likely going to be using a lot of MS DSNs in a predominately XP/2k2 environment. Where I've run into issues is with W7's 64-bit ODBC data sources tool, when in a mixed Office environment. Have to cmd the 32-bit tool to create DSNs for these retro platforms - meaning at-station setup, due to older Office apps. 
Running XP puts me on their level - and the few stations with W7 can be set up as above.
Side gig - building an Office SQL app/reports overlay on Oracle data farms. Panama.
