Hei Ed & Michael, yes... windows users are lazy and do what they are used to and that's what I am actually seeing for myself too: if I have the option for an exe to install, then I download it. (Though rediscovering the Ubuntu packaging service: the whole packaging on linux is nice too... even nicer)
Having a look at the downloads stats (when they work again) should confirm that the extra effort makes sense. cheers from Calgary (my 2 cents) stefan >> windows setup: >> >> as fancy as it is. is it worth the extra effort, necessary for every release >> (can we automate that?)? what are the benefits? windows users can as well >> use the multiplatform distro. > Packaging a windows version is a bit of extra work.
