[gmx-users] version for windows

[Wang Zhun]

I once installed a MS version of Gromacs on my pc but gave it up in the end for the stability of the OS and other unexpected problems. And I'm using a Linux version of Gromacs which is working for me now. So MS Windows OS is a better choice for some software like DeepView, in my opinion, but absolutely not for Gromacs.
