Working on Windows support

[tfjmp]

As windows is not a UNIX system it is a pain!

Making it run properly on Windows will require a bit of effort.

I'd love to see this.

I read in the pre-print that "At this stage, one can build a capsule on any platform", does this mean it can already be used on Windows somehow? Or only within a Linux VM?

Hi Ben, it currently produces a Linux VM, which may not be portable to Windows systems.

A quick related note, the motivation for going with the Linux VM was to stay within an open-source software ecosystem. However, we understand that there are disadvantages, namely resistance caused by scientists with non-Linux OS preferences (full disclosure, I'm generally a MacOS user).

Definitely curious to know your thoughts and experience running on Windows if that's your preferred environment.
