If you do this, I think the following will happen:

- People are going to give more importance to the fact that it is
running on Windows than they should. After all, it is pretty easy
nowadays to write code that runs on all platforms, given that you write
on top of a portable toolkit.

- People are going to read way too much into it. Asterisk SCF will
become "The Asterisk that runs on Windows" instead of "The Asterisk for
hard stuff". Windows is not known for "doing hard stuff".

So in my opinion, do mention that it runs on Windows, but don't use it
for the demo. Also, it makes the demo easier to setup, and maybe gives
it more changes to succeed. *grin*
