I would run naked around the European Parliament if that would help the
cause, but I can not do things that are markedly opposite to my
philosophy of freedom and equity.

Running GNU Health in non-libre platforms is not good, from the
ethical and privacy point of views. It is crucial to use libre
operating systems in healthcare, so, for the sake of the community, I
will not write a single line of code in Microsoft Windows environment.

That said, we are about Freedom, and if someone wants to run GNU Health
in a virtual environment, then is her / his choice. Same if someone
wants to port the gnu health HMIS client to run in MS Windows.



All the best
