We should remember that 80% of our userbase is on Windows (XP alone outnumbers
Linux/Mac).
I feel that having derogatory statements does not help us - we do get that feedback from
other sources.

This is kind of sad. I know there have been others that have
mentioned similar thoughts. Perhaps changing it to something like "We strive to keep
Forge running correctly on Windows, however, it is not our main development environment.
Please send any feedback or issues to our development team via JIRA (link) should you
encounter problems."
I personally thought it was funny, but jokes don't seem to be appreciated by all :(

Hey everyone... we've recently gotten some critical feedback about our little
"Windows? Really? Ok..." joke.

What are your thoughts? Perhaps we could make this a little less targeted by turning it
into more of a pluggable feature, where different messages show up randomly based on
runtime conditions?
Like sometimes it might say, "Just 32 bits?" or "Sun still makes
Java?" or "Linux... nice... does your family know?" or "OSX? What is a
lion, anyway?"
Would like to hear ideas. But I certainly don't want to give up the character :)
