        the dev box. You can use `git zen` (or just `git`) locally to modify
        them, or edit them locally.
 
+### OS X
+If you have a case-insensitive filesystem, create a separate source partition
+with a case-sensitive filesystem in Disk Utility, and run the Linux
+instructions relative to that root. Otherwise, Python imports that differ only
+in case (of which a couple exist in the product) will get confused.
+
+### Windows
+This is a wild ride. Prepare yourself.
+
+   1. Install [Python][] 2.7.x using the Windows installer. Install it for all
+      users to the default location, C:\Python27. Customize nothing.
+
+   2. In Explorer, right-click on "Computer". Select "Properties", then
+      "Advanced System Settings". Click "Environment Variables". Edit the
+      system variable "Path" (semicolon-delimited) to include C:\Python27 and
+      C:\Python27\Scripts at the end.
+
+   3. Install [GitHub for Windows][]. This will also install .NET if you don't
+      have it already. Log in using your normal GitHub account. Clone any repo
+      to anywhere, which will force SSH keys to be set up properly (you can
+      delete this repo later). Select Tools > Options... and select "Git Bash"
+      as your default shell. Click "Update". Close.
+
+   4. Double-click on "Git Shell" on your desktop. This will open up a window
+      running bash.
+
+   5. cd to the directory in which you want a europa environment installed and 
+      execute:
+
+          curl -fsSL https://github.com/zenoss/europa-dev/raw/windows/install.sh | bash
+
+      This script, comparable to the *NIX "go" script, will set up git-flow,
+      virtualenv, vagrant-berkshelf, create a Europa environment, install the
+      development tools package, and clone all the repositories.
+
+   6. Skip to step 4 of the Linux installation instructions. Bear in mind
+      Windows will not allow sharing of folders via NFS, so ignore that part.
