That's just referring to the fact that the Windows version has only
gotten any real attention for the last year, and as such it may still be
buggy. There is no guarantee that it won't horribly trash your
database, however then there isn't any guarantee the linux version of
MythTV won't either. It's the same warning given to people running
trunk. Just take the necessary precautions and back up often.

"force it" = going into the code, changing a few statics, and
recompiling. You really have to go out of your way to break things.
