I installed ISE 8.2i using a Win2000 Bottle
- it installed perfectly - all the menu items are ok, as is the desktop icon
I tend to do my synthesis using Leonardo, so I haven't tested any of the front-end stuff
I have compiled an EDIF into a Virtex-4 and it seems to work perfectly.
- I successfully generated a .bin file
- but I haven't tried to use Impact to Download the output.
The PACE Pin-Editor and the FPGA Editor also seem to work perfectly.
The Timing Analyser aborts before getting fully started.
(the Timing Report is ok though)
CoreGen seems to have some problems actually producing a result
- but that might just be me!
So, I would say it's definitely useable, but not 100% perfect.
