Alex, Glad to hear that you are interested in validation aspects for this feature. We are also interested. Not to cover the same areas, can we share general broader categories for validation.

I can certainly host installers if they need to be separate. I would guess it best to start with testing first and building up documentation from there? Perhaps this needs its own thread running now?

I think its fair to debate if this is a feature in that sense. It seems like minor changes and the addition of a few scripts, making it a simple change in my view. It would be great to be able to announce this, but for it to be part of a release i think we need a couple of other things to be done. The most prominent are, packaging, testing and documentation. Documentation: If we want to ship this with 4.4 and announce that CS now runs on windows we need to have the installation manual covered at least. Packaging: We can't expect our users to build it themselves on windows. So we need some kind of packaging that people can install on their windows server. Testing: We need to automagically verify that these changes aren't affected by future changes. I would expect to see the packaging and functional tests on starting and stopping CS on a windows host as part of the automated test procedure. I'd be happy to work with you to set it up on Jenkins. If we can fix these items before the bug fix phase i'd be +1 to include this in the 4.4 release, but of course this is depending on the consensus in the community. I'm just the RM, not the guy who decides what goes into a release.
