I'd like to update this page (you probably mean this page: 
http://bazaar.canonical.com/Bzr/OnWindows). But at this moment bzr have 
bunch of small and big windows-related bugs, and in setup process also.

At now I'm waiting for my win-related patches will be merged into 
mainline, because there is some issue in setup.py also. My last patch 
for setup.py has been merged little incorrect, so expected batch 
creation is not working on win32. At all.

At now (release 0.1.1) the big windows problem is that merge command not 
working properly. I'm found what the bug is and send patch, but Aaron 
said that he's rework merge algorithm and buggy code now is obsolete.

I'm slightly tired create over and over again for each new release the 
same bunch of win-related patches. I think I should wait until it 
finally merged in.

BTW, with each release in bzr code appears new and new windows-related 
incompatibilities. Most of them in selftest code, part in library code. 
Don't think that I'm snivel about this, but it slightly discourage. I 
understand that at this development stage OS-compatibility is not main 
goal, but may be is worth to create short reference for developers about 
known OS-incompatibilities for reasons of future?

Alexander.
