I think this fragment from the page is quite relevant: ``Even if all your work is normally done on non-Windows platforms, it would still be unfortunate to lose as a distribution base all of the Windows-based systems on the planet ...'' I mean to say that as a result of this glitch free software gets a bad name. It loses portability and reduces the possibility that someone sitting on a vista box would see a particular piece of free software. Loss of target audience. Just my 2p.
