Comment(by ant):

 Well, to be honest, I don't think supporting Windows is the point of this
 bug.  The point of this bug is to introduce alternative means of emulating
 OLPC images.

 Incorporating automated builds of VMware/VirtualBox images enables not
 just Windows users but also Linux AND Mac users to emulate OLPC images
 without going through the hurdles of Qemu.  Workstation runs on both
 Windows, Linux, and Mac.

 This is opening up OLPC to a lot more users, and it is also making it a
 lot simpler to emulate OLPC.
