I guess it depends if you want a system that is open source, yet runs on the worlds dominant OS - and is easy to use - or you want to fiddle behind the scenes.
Windows is dominant in home and business desktop use, but when you are talking about web servers and / or open source projects as we are here, it's certainly the least dominant of the popular OSs.
I decided I wouldnt afford the time to fiddle - hence tried to use an open source option that worked on the dark side - and It really does work well,
I don't understand why you seem so ambiguous but at the same time defensive about your choice of OS. You have a solution that works for you, there's no need to insult it. David's system works well for him too, no need to fiddle. In fact he'll only have to type one command to show him all the projects available, and one command to install the one he chooses. Unlike systems running on Windows, he'll never have to visit the installation or setup of the system again - it will work indefinitely. Such ease of use and reliability are only two of the reasons that the vast majority of open source packages are not designed to work on the "world's dominant OS".
