Starting with just the Win7 or Win8 one would be fine. Python 3.5 won't support XP, and VS 2015 doesn't support XP (though I believe it will still be able to build for XP, just not *on* XP). > My only real concern is to verify that this will co-exist properly with the > existing VS installations and buildbot build process.

VS 2010 should be fine. The most likely issues are with VS 2013 (for teams that haven't updated their setup authoring yet), but these should have been ironed out already. > Is anything aside from VS 2015 itself (e.g., the Ultimate 2015 download on the > preview page) needed? I'm assuming not. Nope, that's it. I'll make sure there's a free version that will work eventually, but right now only Ultimate is available. I will make sure to let you know when the merge happens, but if VS 2015 is already there then that should be smooth anyway.
