Dear Sir,

I'm using dial-up, hence i couldn't install eclipse in GNU/Linux as
expected. I have Visual Studio 2009 express installed in Window$. What's
your opinion on doing the project in Window$ ? Will that be easier than that
of in Linux ?

As a novice, my tries to install gloox under window$  fails. Could you
please help me to do that ?

Thanks,
Ershad

PS: Sorry if the topic has diverted. Feel free to say such things to me.
