Sorry for bad news: due to royalty arrangements we made with the various
ports for IC, we must sell keys separately for the different platforms.

Good news on this one: you should find the release version of Windows IC to
be very stable. There were many bugs fixed between the last beta and the
final release (including all reported crashing bugs). The one significant
problem that Windows IC 3.1 has (which we're fixing at the moment) is that
if a pcode download fails on the first try, you need to restart IC in order
to make a second attempt. It's pretty easy problem to work around, and if
your battery-backup is working properly, you only need to download pcode
once in a long while anyway.
