Gavin, please, please, pretty please, can you have a look at the 'windows1' situation? Please?
Or, if you don't have time - which I would totally understand and respect - please tell us so one of the other 8 admins on the 'windows1' slave can step in. Our project needs the builds, as I explained in earlier communications, third party teams depend on them and I think we may be loosing their cooperation and contributions if we don't deliver soon.
