I'm naturally alergic to windows as get severe migraines within half hour o=
f using it.

With that, Windows is still a very significant portion of the market and I =
can't think of any open source cloud platform that runs on Windows or cross=
 platform.

Considering that 99% of ACS code can run on windows it would make a lot of =
sense to have Windows support - even if its "experimental" at the early sta=
ge.

The number of windows shops on east coast is greater than linux shops. That=
s a huge market and can be a great marketing gain for us.

Just think of headlines and PR alone ;)

I would have taken this on myself, but I have to much of knowledge drift th=
ere.

That is true.  There have been folks that have said - =B3that=B9s nice but =
we
don=B9t really know Linux.=B2   That said, I love me some Linux so keep the
Windows versions away from me :)
