I said it before and I say it again: we shouldn't do this, not now, not never. If you check where .cpp is used, is it mostly on Windows. However, LyX is culturally UNIX. We should be proud of that and show it in our code base. It's OK to cater for Windows users; they are victims, not crooks. Many have no choice, being hostages to less enlightened organizations. Also collaborative authoring requires support for all major platforms. Catering is not groveling, though. It's not self-censorship. It's not appeasement, finlandization or the Stockholm syndrome. In this Micro$oft infested world, let's keep our heads up high! It's not Friday, but I won't even grant our enemies a smiley. - Martin
