[gmx-users] version for windows

[Erik Lindahl]

Hi,

We really don't  care much about MS Windows, since it's not  
particularly suited for high-performance computing tasks running in  
the background. To tell the truth, the main reason why we've ported  
the code to native windows (i.e., not cygwin) is to enable  
simulations in distributed computing environments like folding at home.

If you want a nice graphical user interface combined with Unix  
environment I'd recommend Mac OS X.

Cheers,

Erik
