Re: windows version of Octave

[Jonathan Stickel]

I think there is partly a disconnect between users and developers here,
especially for windows users.  Many new users want octave to "just work"
in windows, but I bet most developers and advanced users use linux.  I'm
an advanced octave user in linux, and it just isn't worth my time to
even read the details of windows related posts.

It seems (to me) many of the newbie questions lately have been windows
related, and often about plotting.  Plotting is a sore spot, even in
linux.  I see there is a recent effort to patch this up in a unified
way.  That would help.  Maybe a FAQ just for windows users would also help?

My 2 cents.
