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.

71 -That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
72 - 1) The {{code language="none"}}woproject/*.patternset{{/code}} don't work quite right on Windows with older versions of WOLips. 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.
73 - 2) Couple images have backgrounds that should not
74 - 3) Outline view in component editor is not right
75 - 4) AutoOpenInBrowser doesn't work unless you override Application._isSupportedDevelopmentPlatform to return true
