AFAIK we have at least one core developer running Windows almost  
exclusively. t.e.o runs LigHTTPD, as do many popular sites. Other  
known deployment options include nginx, twisted.web2, CherryPy,  
paste.httpserver, litespeed. There are probably even more, but I tend  
to lose count. While we obviously cannot force 3rd-party contributions  
to be platform-neutral, it is generally encouraged where possible. I  
will grant you that we generally say "cron" when we mean "generic time- 
based daemon", but then even a few popular linuxes no longer use cron  
itself for that ;-) I agree there is a sentiment that Trac is Linux  
software, and I would certainly like to reverse that whereever  
possible. Once interesting idea I saw on a ticket a while ago would be  
trying to get Trac running on IronPython or Jython. Porting Genshi is  
probably the hardest part of that, but it would allow us to tie in to  
many Windows shops' existing .NET or J2EE stack. Improving our Windows  
docs (at least bringing them up to the level of the other ones) would  
also probably help. Any volunteers? :-)
