Insight into Google Engineering?

Today, Google released a new version of their Google App Engine SDK. The big change... well, it works on Windows. The previous one, while it had a Windows MSI installer thingy, was unable to deal with Windows pathnames. Clearly, no-one had ever tried to use it.

This is surprising, really. It at least implies that most or all Google programmers use Linux or Mac workstations. There've been signs before, of course; the GMail notifier thing, in particular, is far better on MacOS than on Windows...

Still, though, amazing that no-one even ran through the example stuff before releasing it.
