Correct. This was debated early on. A non-Windows client would have taken far longer to build which would have required more resources and thus less features elsewhere in the product. With solid server-side support for the reporting feature in place we can replace (or provide additional) report clients easily at a later date. For now, as most developers do in fact use Windows boxes, the report builder tool runs on Windows. The longer term plan will extend this, of course.

That's correct. Ideally, we would release Report Builder applications for all platforms, but we figured it made more sense to just get it right on a single platform, and for obvious reasons, that platform had to be Windows. I can't imagine a web development operation without some Windows machines around, at least for testing if nothing else.
