Interesting Question Silvio. i am not going to detailt my thoughts too much. I honestly think Krita is not ready for Windows for now at least on unstable release . It has a lot of bugs (like others apps ) and windows users tends to be not to much pattient with software. I know by my experience with Gimp on the company that i was working. if Krita crash in my house (nothing happens, well i scream thats all) but if Krita Goes windows, for sure will crash too and a windows user accept 1 or 2 crashes. Then "this app is a shit" thats it, so rude. maybe they don ´t really care the effort we put in Krita, or if they are using the STABLE or UNSTABLE release.. Linux users are less but more pattience and they usually report bugs. it is another philosophy. so i agree with Cyrille "social problem" the way people learn computers things. <br>
But i have to be honest, and that makes me think too, I learn Open source by windows apps. i began with Gimp., then Mypaint, and finally enter to Krita when i installed Ubuntu. so the chain would be broken if there is no WIndows Gimp release or mypaint. So how many users ,would be lost with no Windows release ? i dont know. <br>
<br>My simple answer is NO, we are not ready. for this year. but the next year things could be absolutly different because nowadays Krita has the biggest potential in important fields like Brushes, color selection, bit depth and amount of Devs<br>

</div>I also think that gimp/windows problems are more of a social problem, and, I<br>
am unsure if we are ready for that, but it can always be fixed later.<br>
