Richard,

Sourcefire already does this, and this was senseless post like several
of
the past on this subject. Not by you (accept this one) but others that
think
that their preferred OS over another preferred OS should be given
priority.
For Sourcefire to think that the *nix environment deserves priority
because
it holds the majority in the Snort IDS field is simply wrong.

Michael,

When you're buying Snort in the form of Sourcefire's appliance or
support, you can make demands of them.

When you're downloading code from an open source project, you are in
no position to judge Sourcefire's "priorities" or label their actions
"wrong."

If Snort on Windows is so important to you, step up to the plate and
figure out how to make their source code work on your platform of
choice.

Otherwise just be thankful a commercial company is devoting resources
and payroll to releasing their code as open source.  Without that,
you'd have nothing to complain about.

Sincerely,

Richard
