It's not just windows.  Some windows users happen to be the more vocal about 
it, but the issue concerns the project as a whole and every supported 
platform.  I still don't want to think what would happen if Harry would give 
up the Mac for Kubuntu  ;-)

During the 2010.2 release cycle Windows installers were actually at the 
forefront, both in terms of quantity and quality.  For the first time we have 
both a 32bit and 64bit binary installer on the official SF download space and 
there are a number of capable builders/contributors sharing on this list.  The 
wiki documentation is not up to date yet, but at some point they will discover 
that too.

I will feel comfortable about project resources when we can achieve the 
following:
1. at least two experienced active builders for every major supported platform
2. official binary distributions for all major supported platforms within a 
week 
of release of source code tarballs.
