My personal view? Windows is *really really really* hard to support,
and ONE PERSON did a stellar job of supporting the platform for an
incredibly long job.

I don't know if he'll ever read this, but if he does, thank you
Christoph for your amazing contribution to the community.

The fact that we have a problem now is a testament to the length of
time that we *didn't* have a problem, thanks to him.
