Please concentrate on the language and not on the IDEs. I think you will
get Adagide working as other reports that it is working on Win2k and
when GPS comes you will have an excellent IDE.

Note one thing now that you learn Ada: As Ada is a strict/strong typed
language you may get a bit frustrated in the beginning that the compiler
is complaining a lot. Note however that this is a good thing because it
means that the compiler is catching your errors at compile time rather
than let them pass and make a program that will crash at run-time as less
strict languages do. Another advantage is that you get your code
corrected with an explanation right away. In this way you learn Ada
quicker. You will soon see that all the errors disappears.

But just out of curiousity. You say that Ada is hyped?
