Fair enough, but AIUI, Canonical cares about win32.  The design has been
Windows-supporting from day 1.  It's a shame that the implementation
doesn't quite measure up yet, but I'd consider that essential to a beta
release, and the sooner the better, really, so we don't have to do it
all in one lump in January.
