I'm dissapointed that Haskell doesn't have *more* of a Windows bias. It
_is_ the platform used by 90% of the desktop computers, after all. (As
unfortunate as that undeniably is...)
In particular, I really wish we could make is so that stuff from Hackage
actually compiles on Windows. (Disclaimer: Stuff written in Haskell
compiles just fine. It's FFI bindings that unanimously refuse to
compile.) It's also somewhat irritating that the I/O libraries have a
few quirks apparently related to mingw32. But hey, that one at least
should be fixable...
