Hi all, Buildbot on Windows works reasonably well given you won't make too long filenames (non-Unicode WinAPI limitation, not specific to Buildbot). Also task spawning might have some issues with complex shell lines - lots of quotes in arguments or using a single string instead of list could give you strange results. Other than that, everything is fine. We're using Buildbot on Windows and Linux for over 5 years now, and all is okay.
