They did not read the other email, did they?

I _could_ have put a news for http://www.videolan.org/security/sa0807.html,
you know. But would YOU have answered all the questions from users as to
how they install vlc-0.9.1.tar.bz2 to their Start menu?

I too can demand a timely Windows release. But how does it help? We have
been complaining about lack of Windows porter for how long? and all we get
is people demanding that we fix their Windows bugs and that we release the
working Windows binaries. This is not helping.
