Thats actually an interesting problem with the windows userbase.  Look at the
difference in how the two communities grew up.  One grew along the lines of
"shareware" and "freeware", the other along the lines of open source.  In the
other side, I would bet that there is a much much greater percentage of unix
users that are programmer/free-help-out types than windows user.  I'd say it's
almost guaranteed that until you reach a sizeable critical mass of windows
players, you would get virtually none willing to develop.

My point being, that if we break the DX client, and MT doesn't produce another
working client for flat maps, we may just be SOL.
