Well, you should get people to take a look at XEmacs for Windows
(easy, http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/ for both a netinstaller
and an (old) InstallShield version).  It's got the eye candy, which
GNU doesn't (yet).  With some luck, we'll have CUA bindings about the
same time we get Mule for Windows.

I think GNU Emacs (which already has Mule on Windows) is scheduled to
have image support in the next release (21.3?)---but that's been true
for several releases now, and it keeps not happening.  I think you can
grep through savannah.gnu.org and find the emacs-devel mailing list
for the latest scoop.

XEmacs does multimedia better though.  Nothing you _need_ in a text
editor, of course.
