Re: 7.4 features list

Apart from the already known issue of corruption on power loss (which ought
to be soluble - presumably the commercial heavyweights don't suffer from
this problem), I can't see any reason to have low expectations of the w32
port.

My experience, and apparently that of others, running the PeerDirect port,
has been entirely painfree.

I understand people's feelings about this - I'm a Unix kinda guy myself, and
will choose some flavor of it every time if given the choice. Often, I don't
have a choice, for a variety of reasons, some good and some not. That's why
the W32 port is important.
