9 -The WebObjects frameworks are available on the Xcode tools, which cannot be install on a Windows (or any other Linux/UNIX variant) machine. Before developing on Windows, you need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can fetch the frameworks without having to install them on the Mac.
9 +The WebObjects frameworks are part of the Xcode tools distribution (available on the Mac OS X DVD, or as a download from Apple, see below) which cannot be installed on a Windows (or any Linux/UNIX variant) machine directly. So, before developing on Windows, you will need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can extract the frameworks from XCode without having to install them on the intermediate Mac.

47 -That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
48 -1) The woproject/**.patternset don't work quite right on Windows.  If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting Components~/~/**/etc/** to Components/**, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources
49 -2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
50 -3) Outline view in component editor is not right
51 -4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application.//isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true//
57 +4) Create a wobuild.properties file in C:\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Library with the contents:

If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting {{code language="none"}}Components/**/*/etc/**{{/code}} to {{code language="none"}}Components/*{{/code}}, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources. Alternatively you can use a recent nightly build of WOLips where this bug has been fixed.
