No, I have 400D and 60D...
For framing, I used FocusAssist (freeware) with 400D, via USB, on XP.
Not sure if this version works with 60d. And I just noticed there is now new commercial version of Focus assist (v3) .. but I don't know anything about it as I never used it (the old one was good enough for all I needed)
EOS utility works with no problems, on both XP and w7, with both cameras.
DSLR Shutter works via RS232 (on w7 lap I am using USB-RS232 adapter), with both 400D and 60D (as they both have the same 2.5mm stereo receptacle for shutter control).
You don't need any camera specific drivers (apart from standard OS serial driver), as the program controls RTS on the serial interface connector pin to activate the camera shutter (with help of external transistor)
The cable I build myself (details are on Stark Lab webpage)
Recently I tried EOS video record with 60d (
