XEmacs (and Emacs in general) UI is pretty different from what is expected of a typical MS Windows program. How will the MS Windows port cope with it?
Fortunately, Emacs is also one of the most configurable editor beasts in the world. The MS Windows “look and feel” (mark via shift-arrow, self-inserting deletes region, etc.) can be easily configured via various packages distributed with XEmacs. The `pending-delete’ package is an example of such a utility. In future versions, some of these packages might be turned on by default in the MS Windows environment.
