I have a very brief write up of how I use the spectro with Windows at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Spectro.pdf

This was with XP and an older spectro.  I'll check my new W7 64 bit and new spectro soon to see if anything has changed.

Actually, I use Create ICC to make a color managed workflow with the Epson driver.

What I do for the Golden Trout Workshops is step people through a series of workflows that starts with a simple Epson driver workflow, then one that uses an ICC, and finally some approaches to the QTR rip.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eb1400.pdf  This was last year's PDF, but the inkset was a bit simpler and what I've actually gone back to for my own uses.
