I support Windows toolserver. I actually proposed it already pretty long time ago.
Of course, it depends on what will be installed on it, but I guess some SBS package could
solve it.
It's not the question of unwilling to learn Unix, but the question of reusability of
previous work - if somebody already has something he can can use, he most probably
won't want to rewrite it completely in different language.
Eg. I personally have a bunch of stuff written in ASP I could use, as well as standalone
scripts in VBS/JS. There are also some useful freeware programs or libraries which could
be helpful and I don't know about any Linux alternative to them (not saying it
doesn't exist, but simply didn't find it).

if a toolserver running Windows were available, would anyone use it?
are there people not using the toolserver (or not as much as they'd
like) because they are unwilling to learn Unix?
any other comments? (please, avoid comments about why we
should/shouldn't use Windows.)
