<br>
So who in NLnetlabs works on Windows? <br>
<br>
Someone must know how the offering for windows works, it is a downloadable offering on your website and works well from what I have seen.<br>

No, I cann't. I'm not a Windows user so I wouldn't know. If nobody else on this list answers, I suggest you take this to a "how to run windows" list. Or just try google.<br>
