- mingw32's gcc chokes on many of the microsoft's SDKs and DDKs headers (it's actually microsoft's fault for using non-standard C in their headers and preventing the headers modification/redistribution) - Intel C/C++ is not free for commercial use (you can download the WINDDK with MSVC compiler for free) - but above all, they are not MSVC -- which is the de-facto standard compiler on windows -- so we should *at the very least* support it, as people *want* to use it.
