There is still no "native" MS Windows version of FriCAS that includes graphics, although there is a version that runs under Cygwin. On windows I prefer to use 'andLinux' (which is an Ubuntu distribution running under colinux. I have a downloadable version that has 'andLinux' with Axiom pre-installed if you are interested. Please check the FriCAS archives.
