Hi,

I can tell you without any reservation that porting to both Windows 
*and* MacOSX has made Scribus better, more robust and fewer bugs.

Exposing the code to both has unearthed some bugs which would not have 
shown up otherwise. Whatever issues on might have with MS, they do 
have good compilers.

Adding Andreas and Jean to the team has 110% positive. 

I could not imagine not having them now ;-)
