HI all, I agree with all of you, it is probably more convenient to have ZIP files, but the one that is not able to open a TAR.GZ archive will probably not be able to use Openscenegraph...
I just wanted to point out, about those binaries for windows, that some of the TAR.GZ are corrupted... at least the x86-vc90sp1-Debug It is not a big issue since user can just pick up individual packages instead of the "All_Debug" package... But it's better to fix it. I've just tried the MSVC09 download at http://www.openscenegraph.org/downloads/stable_releases/OpenSceneGraph-2.8/binaries/Windows/VisualStudio9/ Pierre.
