Adobe has finally announced Adobe Lightroom for Windows users. On Adobe Labs' website, it says "Beta 3", but I think this is a mistake for the Windows version. It should read "Beta 1".

More Efficient Links
January 17, 2006; 8:45am PST
Currently, DigitalDingus is revising the main navigation menus so that they are consistent on every page. The Java menus will eventually be taken down, and only the static menus will be in place. Due to DigitalDingus increasing it's size in content and increased traffic, having static menus will enable a much quicker load time, in addition to a more proper placement for navigation. In the meantime, you may notice on some pages, a redundancy of links. This is because some pages are getting ready to take down the Java menu.
