Comment(by schilly):
Fact: Annual Survey: Windows Port is always the top requested feature.
Some additional Quotes:
About Virtualization: “A native version on MS Windows is important. Its
nonexistence was no problem for me, but it delayed trying it out for a
while, since this virtualization-machinery was unknown to me and seemed
complex. In the end, everything worked just as described, no problem at
all, but it was a mental hurdle to overcome, before even trying it.“ --

Sage running on Windows is highly anticipated: “Hopefully we can use this
as an alternative to Matlab at our company in the future.” - Andrew
Trapani, sage-windows mailing list, May 2010
Open-Source Nature of Sage:
“I like the idea of free software. Sage is enough for tecaching math at
our univeristy (of forestry and agriculture). In such a case it is immoral
to use maple or mathematica and pay for it from university budget.” --

“Thanks for building something I've always wanted...” -- Anonymous, Sage
