We are still working on this. It will take another couple of months at least. The problem is that the customer interest turned out to be slightly less than what we had anticipated. But Lxadmin is written as 100% cross platform, and full windows support is the most important thing that we are currently working on.
thanks.

Hi,
Cpanel has been trying to get windows out for more than 5 years or so, and still not succeeded. We definitely have plans to release it before this year end. Our main problem is providing support for windows, which being graphical is slightly more difficult.
I would be really surprised if a linux company can trivially come up with a windows version. Lxadmin is extremely well-written , with 5 layers of abstraction, which is the only reason why we were able to port it.
thanks.

I merely mentioned it to show the difficulty of predicting a release. When the platform is different, we run into so many unpredictable issues. We are always close to release, but there is always one more issue to fix. The volatility of software release prediction is very common in the industry.
As for us, we have normally delivered on our promise, except for the windows port, which has been tougher than we thought.

The only prediction we made was to release it in May, but a deadline which we weren't able to cater to. Earlier, we never made any predictions about windows release AT ALL. We just had the beta version for download.
thanks.

One of the reasons for the delay, was that we actually asked many of our customers about windows, but very very few evinced interest. I am sure Windows is indeed a credible market, but very few of our current customers seems to be interested in it.
That's actually the real reason why we decided to slow down, especially since, the requests for features on linux was much stronger, and had more proponents. In fact, at present, we are keeping windows on hold, and will take it up in another 2 months, after we add the features on linux.
But yes, lxadmin/hyperVM windows will be definitely there, and it will use 99% of the same code, but it will take some more time.
thanks.

Yes, we clearly understand it. But as I said, the only deadline that we gave was May End. Before that we had Windows In Beta, but didn't really talk about it.
As for provenness, Lxadmin is widely used, and works properly.
thanks.

In my opinion Lxlabs is right in everything and only wrong in one thing... but that is not so much important... since the rest are correct choices... and the correct choices justifies his only "mistake" completely.
Lxlabs mistake was telling a release date. Only that. If they didn't tell anything, you won't "blablabla" and complain them for your own mistake.
"gcakici" are you some kind of CEO? If I'm wrong I apologize. Because you talk like one. At the same time you talk like if you understand anything about programming. 
If you were a real CEO (or boss of some specific department whatever) or developer for real... you should know about Lxlabs priorities.
They must correct issues/bugs currently on HyperVM/Lxadmin (like the good developers they are and listen to their clients). Most of the clients prefer linux. Others (like you), likes to have both platforms. And other ones prefer only windows.
You decided to use Lxlabs products because they said they had a release date for windows. If you really needed windows and if you have the money like you say and the knowledge for that... why you come here to the forum "blablabla" saying all that you said and complain Lxlabs for your own mistake? Just go to some big company that have both platforms (windows and linux) at the same time. Don't waste time here man. Remember, time is money (for you off course... since you talking like you were losing money each day)?!
A developer like you or CEO (or boss/responsible of whatever) must have much more to do than came here and complain a company that works hard for their current clients to fix issues and bugs. The majority works with linux not windows. Until windows software from lxlabs comes out, he needs to give priority for linux because thats what it is currently fully working on production systems and we (clients like you) can't wait for bugs to be fixed. Windows that is not running on productions systems can wait even 5 years if needed.
Also, my little experience (with the only 20 years old I have) teaches me that every "release date" is not to be trusted when we talk about software, games and everything involving programming.
But that is a opinion of a 20 years old guy... maybe if it was an opinion from someone like the big "Bill Gates" you would consider this words.
Try to understand lxlabs position here!
Regards,
R. Mendes

Internally we are using sqlite. So it will be independent of the db.
You can install whatever DB you want, you will have to license it from MS.

All windows 2008 will be supported. Lxadmin will be pretty much independent of the system, just like on linux.
You will need IIS installed already that's all.
