But even if it does, I think you should abandon Windows permanently for these reasons: 1- The market share for Windows servers continue to decrease as Linux server use increases, so why stretch your finances to get into something that's already dying? 2- WSC has never produced a Windows version since they bought the software from SmithMicro many years ago, so no one expects you to start supporting Windows again now. 3- The money you might have spent on a Windows version can be used to improve the existing Linux versions, or for marketing, or for almost anything more economically prudent than a new Windows version. Obviously the three of you who still use Windows servers might disagree with me here, and that's your choice. I'm just stating my opinion about this because I think it makes sense.
