do you think that not paying attention to Windows would be a good thing?

I respect both your comments (your and chromatic's). Nevertheless my answer to your question above is yes, it would be a good thing. It may not be the right answer to you, but after personally fighting off Microsoft (and SAP, and Oracle, and others) in our parliament to defend our government's position on Free and Open Source Software, you realize that it is not purely a question of market (or technical for that matter), but more a question of principle.

Furthermore, I did answer the original seeker posting and helped out as best I could, even though I did not agree on his developing platform. So who, in practice, is being radical? Why pick on the purely political aspect of my posting, instead of commenting on the shadowcat solution proposed which in my humble experience is by far the fastest and easiest way of installing Catalyst. Or is it that Windows users cannot use the CPAN shell and have to rely purely on ActiveState compatible ppm's?

Cheers,
Alejandro
