 I hope that was not offensiwe (although I feel it was). We cannot convert
 all the people we address the software to use Linux, can we? Additional I
 thought GHC is ment to be serious - cross-platform compiler, so I think
 solving this bug is somewhat important for everybody.

 We've got some windows expirence and people that can help you (but they
 are not haskellers) additional I can provide you any time remote machine
 on Amazon with everything configured - you could connect to it and check
 the things out. We will help you as much as we can also - what do you
 think?
