Windows is a dying platform and it is being killed by GNU. GNU is now
more popular than OS X. I'm not going to argue that with you. If you
want to use Windows, you're welcome to. You shouldn't be using EasyTAG
anyways, but Windows Media Player or whatever McSoftware Microsoft
recommends for managing pre-selected music from their vendor partners
encoded in some random proprietary formats.

Most of the world's wealth is in the hands of a handful of people. That
doesn't mean that poverty is good just because it is popular. People are
not free if they are not informed, and most people have never even heard
of GNU.

That's your choice.

Like I said, I am not going to maintain for Windows but someone else is
welcome to. It is a waste of time and about as productive as trying to
get it to build under Amiga or DOS. The people that insist on using
legacy platforms can do so if they choose to, but they should not drag
the resources of the progressive and freedom loving folks down with
them.
