To show I'm not just going to complain and not pitch in: I'm working on a document explaining my experience using the ready 2 run on Windows 2003 Small Business Servers as the heart of a intranet application engine, in our case a java / ColdFusion based POS system. When it's done I'll send it to the council for review and possible publishing.
I'm also been working on a exe installer of the r2r onto a windows box that loads the service during the install. It's not yet working and that internal project has stalled because of work issues but if there's interest in it I'll see if I can get it back to active status. We have been using the NSIS open source installer to build the exe. If I can help with other Windows users or help with documentation I will be happy to.

I don't believe anyone is trying to "push" anyone, people in general just have a natural tendency to promote what their personal experiences have convinced them is the ideal. We understand the opinion that there needs to be more documentation tailored to windows users, and we will do our best to accommodate that opinion in the future.
