A better question would be:  Why would anyone even *want* to port Asterisk to 
Windows?  You have to pay for Windows *and* you don't even get the Source 
Code.  And you can't run Windows without the CPU-hogging GUI.  Worst of all 
possible worlds, surely?

If you want to run Asterisk on a Windows PC, it is far easier just to boot up 
an AsteriskNOW CD.
