Yes ... the other features are important too, but right now, we are
falling behind on marketshare because we are without a native Windows port
... the other features keep us ahead of the pack, but we *need* the Win32
stuff to close off the gap that has been growing ...
As Jan has already mentioned, we have several big features already in 7.5
(ARC, bgwriter, etc), so it isn't as if 7.5 will revolve only around Win32
