I would still prefer eschewing actively negative words like "hostile" and just
neutrally stating that Windows does not use a fork/exec model and does not offer
any easy way to implement fork.

Hmm, yes, I'll fix that.

Thanks.


I'd also like to see specific errors mentioned so that when people are searching for
a solution to the problem they will be able to find it in the FAQ.

Is there something wrong with the itemized list which follows that sentence?

No, sorry. I'm email challenged at the moment so I missed it.

Btw, since this is such a glaring omission from the FAQ I think you should make the edits that Corinna and I suggested and just check it in. We can tweak it as needed when people express confusion.

Ok, checked in with the suggested edits.
