We have a lot of Window developers. I have tried to find out more

WO development and deployment under Windows was supported through WO
5.2.4. Starting with WO 5.3, development and deployment are
supported only under Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, respectively.
However, WO being Java, one could still muddle along under Windows
but without the benefit of EOModeler, WebObjects Builder, and Xcode.
Eclipse could be used as the IDE, but without EOModeler and
WebObjects Builder, maintaining eomodels and component templates
would be an unpleasant chore, IMHO.
The Windows WO development environment ran inside a Unix cocoon
embedded in Windows. This was the result of NeXT Computer, the
developer of WebObjects, porting its OPENSTEP development environment
to Windows NT. So your Windows developers might not have found the
WO development environment to be very familiar, i.e., very Windows-
like. Since they would have had to adapt to this foreign development
environment anyway, it would probably have been a better experience
overall to just get them some Macs for their WO development. Macs
now play very well in a Windows environment, so this isn't such a
stretch. But of course, you might not want to spoil them :-)
Aloha,
