I think it's a massive opportunity. These people are using Subversion because TortoiseSVN is a nice piece of software, not because they are anti-DVCS partisans.

If someone made an app like Tower but for windows and charged $50-100 for corporate licenses, they could make a killing.

Or, if the Github team, having first created a GUI for Mac, which they use themselves and can more easily test, were to then create a Windows version and charge $0 for it, they could convince a lot of Windows Subversion users to switch to Git and Github, paying monthly for private repos.

Which looks like where they're going with this.
