We are using Windows 7 64bit, Visual Studio 2008 (32bit) with SP1 and latest cmake (currently 2.8.2). Vista (32bit and 64bit) and Windows 7 (32bit) do not make any difference to the compiler so you would just have to decide for one OS (I would recommend Windows 7 32bit, which is the mainstream right now). I also would recommend VS2008 (32bit) with SP1 which is the most stable VS you can get at this time. Take the latest cmake version. I think you can skip testing with VS2005 as this product comes to EOL. VS2008 is currently used by most people.
