Anyone have this running on windows?

The client posted by puddinpop is a windows client. Probably at this point could use it's own thread and perhaps a mod should split the topic at the point that puddinpop posted the client to avoid further confusion. I have been running the client on windows 7 64bit for a few days on and off.

I am currently doing some testing on the client on a closed network of clients. Thus far the client has not done anything outside of generate coins and send some to the authors address. Netstat does not show any extra ports being listened to. I am fairly confident that the client is not doing anything out of the norm for a bitclient (i.e. virus, malware, etc.) and it does pass online anti-virus tests. The client may have a bug that I am trying to verify tonight. I don't want to cause a stir until I am sure and would like very much for some one else verify they are getting the same results as me. I will post more once or if I see the client do the same thing again as I deleted the data files and started over clean. I will know in about another 75blocks (sometime in the middle of the night). In the mean time has anyone else linked a client with this one and let the run from block 0 on a closed test network?

[Update] OK no bug here just a matter of the way the client works. Everything a block is generated the "debit" is incremented by 5btc. This debit is sent right then if coins are available. What I was seeing on my test network was that clocks were being generated and taking a long time to mature so that once I have 50btcs generated and matured they would all be debited out of the client because the blocks had already been generated. I would say my test of the client makes me trust it with a fair level of confidence.
