Subject: [ros-users] RViz on Windows
Hi guys, I took a quick look around and didn't find anything current or
concrete on the topic, but I am trying to convince my lab to convert to ROS,
but a lot of them are weary about limited Windows support. I think it would
go along way to up their adoption rates if some of the tools like RViz,
rxconsole, and maybe the simulators ran on Windows. I know that they are
mostly written in Ogre3D and wxWidgets, so I think it should be possible,
but understandably not a priority. Has anyone had experiences or successes
in using parts of ROS and its tools on Windows? Any advice is welcome.

Thanks,
