GNU/Linux users have the various distros that package Emacs binaries for them. The volunteers who produce the MS-Windows binaries are in effect acting like such a distro for Windows users. > It would not be right to give more support to Windows than to > the GNU system itself. The Emacs project doesn't support those volunteers by more than advice, answers to questions, and asking the GNU uploading personnel to give them upload rights.
