I'm not defending it. I'm arguing as a professional user of RCSs
who has to live in a reality that happens to contain machines running
windows. Part of the job of an RCS is to enable cooperation in a
team. An RCS that doesn't run on windows cannot perform that job
(in my environment), and thereby disqualifies itself as a useful tool.
This is not a political argument, it's being pragmatic.
Bye,
Peter
