Iris,
Thanks for your interest. Galaxy will run under Windows if you have Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) installed. You will need make sure you have the latest version of Galaxy from SVN.
Files are saved under "database/files/".
There is no maximum file size in Galaxy, although certain filesystems do have limits (ie FAT32 has a max of 4GB). Let us know if you encounter a file size error.
Don't hesitate to let us know if we can offer more help,
Dan

Dear GalaxyTeam members,
I'm a PhD student at the University of Canterbury and I have been using Galaxy for about 3 weeks... It is an excellent program! Actually it is the kind of tool I was looking for many months and an awesome complement for the UCSC Genome Browser
Until now I have worked mostly using the interface at http://test.g2.bx.psu.edu/ which I guess is the test version. I have also installed the program in my linux session, however, I work more often in windows. Therefore I would like to know if you have a binary (or if you plan to make one) to run the program in windows?
And a curiosity: where are the files from the history saved? What is the size limit for all the history files?
Many thanks for your cool tool!
Iris
