I use DVrack on both a 700m and Macbook Pro (in XP) and it works great in either. The only real drawback is that you CANNOT record 24PN to P2 and monitor over firewire, this has nothing to do with the software but the camera and codec. When you choose 24PN or 30PN there is no signal even sent out of the firewire.

For any newbies, the HVX lcd is terrible and not useful for ANYTHING but framing. The Marshall is the bare minimum for normal work and for 35mm adapter or long lens use, you absolutely need an external TRUE 720P monitor. DVrack is the cheapest way to do it and lets you have a laptop that will have multiple uses in your P2 workflow.
