Please dont say silly things. If you thing that Windows is crap, I may agree with you. But there are lots of people out thete that *need* to use it, or are not as smart as you are to use only Linux.
Kicad is NOT AT ALL ruling Windows out. There is a lot of work going on on the Development List to make windows as fast as possible and it will certainly get better before the final release. Alain PS: I am stepping this this because that is the second time that someone that should not speak in kicad's behalf sends an unpolite anwer to a windows user. I am not a regular Windows user myself, but I have a lot of good friends that are and I moving to Kicad is just one more step out of Windows.
