Yes, you are right. But remember that we wouldn't be openly endorsing anything other than a totally free distribution. We can't do that while we fall under the FSF. So, if there was a page that linked to a page on installing Feisty Fawn with Windows, that would be acceptable. Just remember to disassociate the FSF with endorsing non-free distributions.
I would have to see it and show it to Windows users to see if they get it. That's how I base my advertising and instructions. If I show it to everyone else that I know and they like it or get it, that's how the call gets made. Just let me know when you come up with something and I'll do some field testing.
