I've been a bit busy of late so lost track somewhat of progress on bringing Scrivener to Windows. Last time I looked it seemed as if the first version for Windows would be a bit tame compared to version two for the Mac, which drove me back to OS X much to my surprise last autumn.

Turns out I'm wrong. <a href="http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&amp;t=11874" target="_blank">There's a new beta for Windows out now</a> and a release version is due very shortly it seems. Even the beta has a lot more in it than I expected, including the excellent Collections feature. And there's a roadmap for Windows which shows exactly what's in, what's out, and what's due compared to the current Mac version.

Very impressive indeed. Given that Word for Windows remains my favourite preferred tool for that final manuscript polish I may be back on Windows full time before long. Here's that roadmap...
