> I particularly appreciate the work he has done on the Matrix plugin to make it available to Windows users.

I am horrified yet morbidly curious how an IM protocol plugin ended up being OS-specific in the first place o_O?

Less OS specific and more "compilable", he took a plug in that was written in C and made sure it was cross-platform enough and compiled it on Windows for us.

The protocol is far from being os-specific, but it does call for a lot of crypto facilities calls, which if you're not careful you might end up making os-specific.
