I totally agree with that. And I think that it is not very constructive to say that Sage supports windows either, when it requires users to install a virtual machine. It does not, and saying the opposite is bad avertisement. It supports Windows as much as any Linux software that does not support windows -- install a virtual machine and run it inside. And it convices people that Sage is hard to install, hard to use, and slower than it actually is :-P Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
