I am reasonably impressed by the window client's abilities (just fired it up on one of my windows nodes), but I can tell that the windows sysadmins here will be a bit put off by having to manually make registry entries, and manually edit the xml config file.   (It's one thing for us unix-dudes(or dudettes) to edit hobbit config items, but I know the windows guys like the gui way.    The (older, yet still mostly functional) BBNT client is quite easy to install, configure, and run.    I'm hoping that's what we ultimately end up with for the hobbit windows client!

I had been very wary of this client until about 10 mins ago when I 
installed and configured it and I also must say I'm reasonably 
impressed. The migrate from BBNT script had me up and running in about 
60 seconds without having to worry about the config file and setting 
everything from scartch.

Is there a separate mailing list for the windows client or are we all 
putting together here on the hobbit list ?

I have a few more questions and want to make sure they are going to the 
right place :)
