Re: Emacs vista build failures

    IF making free programs working on 
    windows helps promote GNU/Linux (or Herd) is not that good?

Yes, but we can't assume in general that that is the case.  For a few
programs, such as OpenOffice and Firefox, the fact that they run on
Windows seems to be a signficant aid to migration to GNU/Linux.  But I
don't see that this is true for other free programs.
