[asterisk-users] Why no traction for Windows version?

[Gilles]

Hello,

Since Asterisk has been ported to exotic platforms like SOHO routers
(Linksys, Buffalo, etc.) and non-MMU CPUs (Blackfin, etc.), I was
wondering why the Windows port never really took off.

As far as I can tell, www.asteriskwin32.com is a one-man effort
(Patrick Deruel's) that is not going anywhere (latest version based on
1.2.26.2).

Are there just not enough interest and too many, deep, Linux-specific
assumptions in the code, that would explain why Asterisk was never
officially ported to Windows?

Thank you.
