I guess miscommunication is one of the dangers of internet forums

Well, most Java implementations run poorly under Windows. So the choice is really between (a) me enjoying the performance of a native Windows application and having the users who decided to chose another platform run it under an emulator AND (b) me running it under a sluggish emulator (Java engine for Windows) and Mac/Linux/etc users enjoying its great performance
