I look forward to giving you a definitive answer. The=20
encryption/decryption/key database portions should
work properly, but I'd predict that the keyserver access
will be broken as it is in Windows2000 and WindowsNT.
You will be able to reliably access the HTTP keyservers=20
using a browser, and copy/paste keys from/into text=20
files for export/import of keys from/to gpg in order to
work around this feature of gpg. The gpg commands
that might not work correctly will be "--recv-keys",
"--send-keys", "--search-keys", "--refresh-keys". The
chance of other problems is probably very small.
Many of the list members will not be able to answer=20
these kinds of questions because we have already
upgraded from Windows XP to RedHat Linux 7.3.
Certainly gpg won't be as likely to break your WinXP
installation as PGP 7.03 will.
