I agree. 

LyX is developed on non-Win32 OS, so if Win32 community wants it, let
them help with the effort and save the time of the core devs for
enhancing native application.

With every day, there are less & less reasons to not switch from Win32,
and LyX being one of those 'killer-app' is a good reason to try
alternative OS.

There are lot of Linux users who still need some Win32 application and
therefore they either keep dual-boot setup or use some emulation software
(Win4lin, vmware, wine, CrossOver Office...), so Win32 users (if they
want ot stay) can deploy the similar strategy (e.g. vmware) or simply use some
Linux Live CD, but let not the effort of developing LyX get dispersed by
attempt to support Win32 version.


Sincerely,
Gour (utf8 user, anxious to see 1.4 happen so that Unicode-support can start :-)
