You're right, my apology: I shouldn't email when I'm that tired (too many days at the scipy conference with too much to do and too little sleep). Windows is a sensitive topic to me because it has given us in ipython nothing but headaches and cost a disproportionate amount of developer time, and has created special-case code that I'd be happier without. So for *me*, windows is indeed a problem. But people are free to use the tools that best suit their needs, and we should help them out as best we can, within the limits of our available resources. The benefit of this wine-based setup is that it lets *nix-based developers help windows users with less expenditure of their time, the scarcest of resources. And that is certainly a net win. So I apologize if it offended you, that was certainly not my intention.
