Konichiwa,
Windows in itself is very crappy, it's not really about multimedia, almost everything isn't good on this platform, maintaining a list of crappy things on windows would just be a waste of time.
Just stop removing fresh air from windows users when they can find in it applications like PureData, when they are available on this crappy platform.
Also the little cd isn't able to handle any computer hardware, without a little bit of knowledge about what is X server for example, Or simply without the matching hardware.
(please don't read this serioulsy)
This even sound very elitistic, the windows users would just use the great cd that has been compiled by the real people who know things, and just keep windows for playing their games, or to run the great music softwares they bought because on linux there are no real solution that is handling mainstream music composition without knowledge about computers.
Sorry to put those misplaced arguments, but sometimes I'm wondering about solutions instead of closing doors.
The windows version is probably the most downloaded because users aren't satisfied, and are waiting for the big changes.

BTW SuperCollider did not released the 3.4 verion for Windows. Widows is just crappy for audio. That means more bugs and more issues to fix. more work for developers etc. The situation is that anyone can put a puredyne live-cd and work with pd/supercollider/whatever on any computer on earth.

Maybe i'm short of rationality, (and i may sound weird, please don't misunderstand) but for me it's like a race issue... we shall not discriminate windows users, because most of them were "born into"
windows.
It's not like you buy your first computer and the vendor asks you
"which OS
please?", and you have a 360 degree view of them you if you are cool
you
choose linux, and if you are a jerk you choose windows. Be more
tolerant,
and of course be happy that you are already "on the right side", but
try to
help those "on the dark side" rather than abandoning them. Just 2 cents.
