Well, true. The situation here is maintaining a cross-platform
application (or build environment). If you make something exclusively
for Windows I guess Windows can work. But otherwise Windows will
always put a spanner in the works, and cost you more effort than the
other platforms together.

At least for Windows you can actually buy software :p
