Some version of it, most probably.

The "odd" part really has more to do with the development path
than with capability. Erlang is fully functional and interoperable
on Windows. Beyond that, using cygwin/cygserver, there should be
*no* functional difference between Windows and any other platform.

Where the oddness arises is in how one would have to structure
applications *using only the Microsoft tools*. To take full
advantage, you'd essentially have to duplicate parts of Erlang and
most of cygserver in a single Microsoft-land app.

I don't believe that will be an issue, for the reasons mentioned
above. But there seems to be a general desire to move away from
dependency on the M$oft tools anyway, so I don't think it will
generate much resistance.
