I own Rebel 8. Ed has been promising a windows version for almost as long as I
can remember. I've promised myself that I would NEVER EVER buy a DOS version of
Rebel. I have stuck by that promise for years now, and will continue to do so.
I'm fairly sure I can wait them out, especially now that I can put my money into
competing programs with a nicer interface. ;)
