Yes, but many primary Windows users (those who use Windows as their main OS) have objections. Things such as: GTK libs and friends are too large just for qemu, that having to install them would confuse a newbie user, using the native win32 GUI will look more natural, etc. I believe that Fabrice prefers a native win32 GUI but he is ok with using a GTK GUI on Windows. (Basically, he just wants something that is functional.) The GTK code I wrote should work equally well when compiled on Windows, though I currently don't know anyone who uses it there. (My one tester reported that the computer he had installed qemu on had some sort of hard disk failure iirc.) -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
