That sounds good and people from eXo do exactly that way. (http://www.exoplatform.org/) You may create separate standalone bundle to play with. But there's allmost nothing to play for just curious windows user. I think that windows users with no or little java/tomcat expirience are not primary target audience. Developers are people you ought to think of. And each developer need: 1) quick start gude and example app (raely quick!) to play with technology and decide to use it or not 2) examples and tutorials to go trough in a couple of days and be able to accomplish regular tasks 3) real good documentation on concepts, architecture and API to do real development based on technology 4) place where to go with questions (only this one works by now) SY, Alex Lukin RIPE NIC HDL: LEXA1-RIPE
