Why? Because as the porting to Linux is proceeding, certain fixes in the
code are being made, and improvements may also follow. In particular, there
are limitations in the Squish/32 bit version, and those are being removed
and bugs are being fixed. Porting it back to Windows may allow Windows users
to finally have a new, better version of Squish available to them. 

Remember, other than a Y2k bug fix, there really hasn't been any new
development at all of Maximus/Squish since the mid-nineties. Although there
are stable versions of Max/DOS, Max/OS2 and Max/WIN, that doesn't mean that
newer, improved versions of Maximus for those OS's is not worth persuing.
