I'm not sure what you mean by that. SFU is a Windows subsystem, and the SFU work is a port to Windows. I never meant it was Win32.I agree. It's great to see the strides that have been made in porting Arch to Windows. Ultimately, I think we do want a single Windows port. Having 3 versions with essentially the same features will only lead to user confusion. But I don't think we need to pick one right away and toss the others.Don't be confused, they are three different ports. The SFU work is /not/ a windows platform.
