I believe this to be an exaggeration. I haven't got an annotation server running fully under Windows yet - some bits of Perl make my home Win98 box crash, and I can only play with my work WinNT box at lunchtimes. But there only seem to be a few problem areas in the Perl code: 1. hard-coded Apache path 2. hard-coded temporary directory path 3. use of syscall to get the time to a resolution of less than a second. 3. is easily fixed by downloading Time::HiRes from CPAN.
