> How close are IDE and vt switching to working with preempt ?

2.5 IDE probably does in 2.5 now, although I don't trust the
reset paths with it yet. Its just part of all the IDE debugging
and locking fixing that has to be done and will gradually
improve over time.

Its not a technical issue with pre-empt any more afaik.
