I think that characterization is more than a bit unfair. For a long while, several people actively worked to support Windows. That Windows support has dwindled is more an indication that they have no time left to support SpamBayes (regardless of platform) than that they are Unix snobs. Perhaps you have forgotten that SpamBayes is open source software. You (or anyone else) are more than welcome to grab the source and do what needs to be done to get SpamBayes working again with more recent versions of Windows. I have put out the plea for developers various places more than once and have always been met with silence. As one of the lesser SpamBayes developers, I actually find I no longer need SpamBayes. Over time, the various organizations which provide me with my daily diet of email (pobox.com and Gmail) have gotten better and better at filtering out spam. Before I actually stopped using it, those providers did such a good job that it was pretty rare that the software was even exercised. I suspect some of the other SpamBayes developers may also be former SpamBayes users. Time marches on.
