WO 5.3.1 developments must be done with Xcode on OS X, so instead of paying $699 for WO, you spend it on a Mac Mini and get a useful machine. 5.3.1 systems can be deployed on "any compatible system" if I recall the wording correctly. Those who are developing for Windows would be able to advise you better. > > Currently, I am using latest WO5.2.4.

Even if you couldn't deploy on Windows, that wouldn't be a blow – there's never been a better time to ditch Windows for Mac, and it's getting better all the time. But WO Windows support is good to ease the transition.
