I know that there are all these resources, but I think that it needs only one page/site with all of them.
All of these resources are so scattered that this still seems an alpha project to newbie users.
By the way this is just my opinion.

Absolutely, was just about to mention something along those lines. As using OT can be somewhat technical at times, the only way i see this becoming common and easy to use, would require a weusecoins type style site (straight to the point, with the ability to teach granny how to use in just a few steps), with everything of importance collected in one place with all the serious tech mumbo jumbo cutout.

It would be nice also to have an rss/twitter account/facebook page/whatever that help to be always automaticaly updated on the status of releases, and as I said it should be noob-prof.

So is this new Windows release working for everyone? For anyone? I am not seeing much sign that people have had much success getting it up and running?

Ok New Version released! This version just has a few java bug-fixes.

Please not that if you are running Windows x64 you may need to install both the x86 and x64 version of OpenSSL, and VC Runtimes.

The benefit of Windows is the huge install base.

Therefore it might be a mistake to move towards a newer version of the compiler, if it's going to automatically slice away hundreds of millions of potential users...

Not everyone in the world has a nice new Mac like some of us.

Agreed, that is why I've been working on the windows version. I think that if OT gets much more popular, then I'm sure somebody will build some windows builds with GCC 4.7 with mingw (like how bitcoin is built).

Is it possible to lower the requirements to be usable also on Windows XP?

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012:
Supported operating systems: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Vista Service Pack 2

Windows 7 SP1 (x86 and x64)
Windows 8 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64)

Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x64)
Windows Vista SP2 (x86 and x64)
Windows Server 2012 (x64)

I guess if somebody wants to make mingw builds of OT they would work fine... The OT Project is moving to C++x11 features, that are supported in the 4.6+ versions of GCC.
However from Microsoft compilers, this restricts us to Vista (SP2) and 7 (SP1).

Been working hard on replacing the c api with c++.

Have finished the initial work:

Budding programmers can make use of:

https://github.com/da2ce7/Open-Transactions/blob/master/include/otapi/OTAPI_Wrapper.h

and (basic, just bool, long, and string)

https://github.com/da2ce7/Open-Transactions/blob/master/include/otapi/OTAPI_Basic.h

Swig has been updated as-well:

https://github.com/da2ce7/Open-Transactions/tree/master/swig/glue

for csharp, d, java, perl5, php, and python

I'm going to work on next: The high-level api... (this is the one you will probably want to use).

Will you add something like an user-friendly auto-update system? ( something NOT "forced", the user will always choice what to do ... )

Main devs will be using this system: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1453
