So once we have something stable I'll provide a Windows port. The usual caveats apply though; if you're using an existing photo collection management tool that doesn't let you have access to the database then you'll have to ask your provider for a tool that does similar. Some companies won't comply because either (a) you don't matter, or (b) it would undercut their business model. This is why I think open source has better long-term value. Firstly, you own all your data and secondly you're always in a position to take advantage of new technologies without getting the permission/development time from the original provider.
