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 :)
