They don't depend on Windows, they depend on our tools that detect Windows.

We don't have to have this tested. If there are no bug reports, there's 
probably nothing to fix. OTOH, sure, it's better when it gets tested. If we 
have the means.

The reason is that Windows dual-boot is very important for our users and we are 
usually capable of making sure it works. If you want to have no user base,

Microsoft provides Windows 8 evaluation copies that you can use legally and for 
free. Of course, IANAL. And we don't seem to lack for community testers that 
have a Windows installation present.
