Oops, I forgot to add THE reason for considering Boost on Windows. That 
tool alone is worth getting Boost. I am talking about ASIO. I still find 
hard to believe that I am the proud authors of clients and servers (at 
the native code level, that is). Such skill had eluded me for years and 
had to use 3rd. party (such as Oracle's) stuff written by others.

My current main need is to port a client that already runs on Linux to 
the Windows side. Both client and server runs flawlessly (thunderous 
hoorays to the ASIO authors!) on the Linux side.

My initial perception of the Windows port is less than overwhelming.

Maybe I should try some precompiled Windows distro.
