Interesting to see the comments on the bottom of the article; apparently a large number of Git fans have commented about how the Windows community didn't get involved in development, and are now pissed that Git isn't equally available for their platform. ;-) There's a lot of truth in that - Windows users (that I know anyway) just want something to work. Even if they are themselves a programmer, they don't want to write X, they want someone else to give them X for free, in a fully functional state. Which is an attitude that I never see from Linux users... -- Shawn.
