The servo team has refrained from announcing even though a Windows build is available now, which just shows a white screen when launched and has the following issues to fix
- Startup is too slow
- Spins one CPU at shutdown
- available without keyboard input support
FYI, this Nightly build gets installed to: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Research\Servo Tech Demo. You need to click on ‘Servo Tech Demo’ shortcut on the start menu to launch the browser.
