Hi Gilles,

For me the main question would be first, why would you want to port asterisk to Windows where you would need to pay license fees ?

And asterisk just runs fine on linux why bother ?

Cheers

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

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.
