I've had Knowledge Pro Windows for about a month now. If you are familiar with
the Knowledge Pro product you will be very at home with the windows version.
The documentation is very good and I have only reported a few problems to
their CompuServe technical assistance line.

With respect to creating a Windows application, the KPWIN enviroment seems to
be less pain than the Windows developers here at work go through. The 
penalty, of course, is speed. In my first attempt, I built a very complex
(7 push-buttons, 4 list boxs, 5 edit fields) screen and a main menu. To display this took about 20 seconds. I would caution anyone that this time was certainly
not representative of an optimized screen and the release of KPWIN is "pre-release" version 0.9. This seems slow to me judging from other windows applications Ihave used in the past.

In summary, if you are looking for to KPWIN to be a substitute for a Windows    production development enviroment (ie. SDK and C-compilers), I think KPWIN is   is probably not such a good choice. If you are looking for a easy to use Windowsapplication prototype enviroment or expert system shell, KPWIN is something to
consider. If Knowledge Garden improves the speed of screen handling, KPWIN will be a lot easier to justify as a mainstream Windows application development tool.
