Nope. Maybe someday.

My view of a HowTo's purpose is to make the described service useful to
a wide audience. You don't interact with or administer window$ systems?
If we limited the HowTos to centos-specific issues, they would read like
a readme file. Consider the centos wiki mail HowTos which contain
significant non-centos information that helps people get their mail
server up and running securely.

Yes, I back up content and configurations on my web and mail servers
along with my linux workstations using it. Adding window$ and Mac
clients strikes me as a natural and useful extension.
