Maybe the lack of readers is dictated by the de facto development environment. Most N8*0 developers care less about Windows. As a former Windows developer, I remember being pretty excited aboutl coLinux, too. After a while, I found that running a real Linux distribution was even better. When it comes to development tools, there is a lot to be said for stability. The N8*0 development environment is geared for Linux. Why waste time with Windows?

BTW, your first post was well-written and had a lovely sense of nostalgia.
