Sorry for the double post..

One more question.. just out of curiosity.. why no windows support? (yes, I
know...evil..evil msft... ) I presume there would be a licensing issue that
clients need to deal with, but aside from that, any particular reason I
can't get a windows box?  Or is that only limited to paying customers.  You
probably could get a good sized customer base that would love to have their
windows server running as VM that they can easily rebuild if need be using
the bundeling system.
