Yes, OSProcess is designed to work on Windows also. However, the functionality is limited on Windows and the plugin is not distributed with the Windows VM, so for most people this is not a practical solution.
do you know why? Because this would be cool.
Well, the functionality on Windows was always limited, and people could always use FFI to start external programs, so I think it has not seemed very important. I wrote OSProcess with a goal of having it work on multiple operating systems, even though it is doing very platform-specific things. The design worked well and has been fairly successful, but I have to admit that I do not personally use Windows very much, and I have not put much effort into making the Windows version more useful. It's just one of those projects that's been sitting on my to-do list for way too long ;-) Dave
