Comment 2 for bug 1416563

Roger, I agree that using client tools on the controller is the easiest way and the way that trainees will use during Meetup training sessions, because it has the added benefit of a unified and predictable environment. When you focus on the basics, that makes sense.

However, having a way to show Windows users that they can natively use OpenStack CLI has numerous benefits: it shows that OpenStack can be usable and controllable from all platforms, not just Linux/OSX. That is important in the environment where Windows are still the dominant platform on clients (read: almost all laptops except Macs... looking at my students laptops only a few run Linux on them, and we're talking about CompSci students. Same goes for Enterprise environments).
