It's quite hard at times, as getting a representative sample of Windows users' preferences/requirements is difficult at best (Windows users seem as a group to be either very quiet, or very easy to please. I'm an exception :-)) If any Windows users want to speak up and help, that would be immensely useful! (And please, identify yourself as such - it's often hard to determine who knows Windows, and who is a Unix user making assumptions or best guesses).
