 = I have a "Windows" Handycap... Any plans for a windows version?? (ducks ;-) =
 
-No need to duck. This can be answered without shotguns :) .Theoretically the answer 
is "it should be possible". All main components of Freevo (python, sdl, mplayer) have 
windows ports in some form or another. SDL and Python for windows is no problem, 
mplayer & probably some python modules will be much more of a problem. Mplayer will 
require at least Cygwin, and is far from as mature as its linux version. So somebody 
with insane patients and good knowledge of freevo, it's components, and the windows 
opensource ports could do it i think. Even if it would ever run on windows, you would 
miss out on the community and general knowledge of the freevo user/developper base.

 Practically : it's way faster, better, easier and cooler to install linux and run 
freevo like it was intended to run.
