For South Africa, we just needed Windows XP or Vista and Visual Basic .NET
Express Edition (though C# or SharpDevelop would also work). Of course these
have to be installed before hand - can't be run from a live CD (I'll look
into what can be done from a Live CD with Windows and post back here.)
At FOSS4G2008 We ran Windows XP as a base install. This worked quite

Very true. We actually got a conference spike in downloads and also in the

Sounds like we need windows to support MapWindow, any others?
I'm expecting at least half the 2009 conference attendees will come from
agencies where the only desktop operating system is windows based, so it
will be beneficial to show GeoFOSS working in their environment.
I expect that we

Oops, I see the question is more about whether to include Windows in
the workshops or not. Either way, hopefully there will also be lots
