Great, Im really looking forward to an improved Windows installation. But
lets get it out there play with it before anything major happens like
shipping Zope with it :)

It is annoying but Zope wins there because OReilly isnt making WebSite
anymore. Its just a name, I find the Zope (%s) bit more annoying than
anything :)

Thats probably a good idea. What about other issues such as install and
removing service easily later, STDERR logging not going to /dev/null, lack
of start menu icons and other windows issues...
