[zeromq-dev] Unsubscribe

It sad to hear you are leaving us.

Regarding Windows, I'm actually a Windows user, and contributed Windows
stuff to the project. When Pieter asked me to be the BDFL he knew I didn't
have Linux experience. So I think Windows users are welcome.

Also, one of the last thing Pieter did before dying was making sure all
ZeroMQ projects compile on Windows.

NetMQ, which is a port of zeromq to C# first worked only on Windows and
also using IO completion ports. It is now running on Linux as well.

I think Windows users are welcome and I'm actually the proof for that.

Im actually really interested in AF sockets on Windows, which I think will
resolve real security issue with using TCP on same machine, both for zeromq
and NetMQ.

If you I can help with this.

I hope you will reconsider.

Doron
