Many of the people recommending to run Linux seem to forget that running an OS is not a target in itself. One chooses the OS that supports most, or preferably, all the applications needed. Most often, this is Windows. Maybe the poster needs Windows (or even, XP specifically) to run applications that are (more) important to him than Calibre.
It would be a much better suggestion if you'd suggested to run Linux in a virtual machine, and use that installation for Calibre newer than 1.48. At least, that is what I would do.
