While I definitly agree, there are at least two benefits two having a Win32
port:

  1) You can use Gnome on machines at work etc if you can't install Linux on
     them; and then continue using the same environment at home.

  2) Free software under windows can be used as the first place to pull users
     into free software; once they realise free software is good they won't
     be scared about going to a free OS.
