While I agree this would increase the audience, I wonder about the
feasibility.
* Do enough maintainers/developers still run windows systems and have
Windows developement experience?
* Would this require a new pool of developers to be aquired before
such a release?
* Would this introduce new bugs that would be difficult to track down
and kill without access to a Windows development environment?
* Would there be an active group, similar perhaps to gnome-love
(windows-love?) that would patrol windows related bugs?
* There would probably have to be an easy and somewhat trusted method
of installing binary packages for Windows. (Winbuntu?)
Enjoy the thought experiment. :-P
