Heh.
It's also the case that the bar for "first class windows support"
keeps getting lower and lower. Many can and many more will be able
to host virtual unix boxes on a windows environment: run arch there
and cross mount the filesystem. Bonus points if you can pop up X
windows on your Windows screen. This is a perfectly "first class"
approach. The network, however virtual, is the computing system, so
to speak.
With that approach, when you run into bugs like /Windows/ programs
that can't handle a deep path even if the underlying (Windows) OS can?
Well, that's not an arch bug...
