Hello,

Please do not take this offensive but, having a title as “How I Started Using Sketch App In Windows” and continuation with “You cannot run in Windows” is not a valid argument.

I am writing this, because this page is one of top 3 search results on Google when you search for “Sketch for Windows”, where article ends up suggesting installing Mac VM on Windows. Therefore, this solution is almost applicable for any Mac Exclusive app and vice-versa. Not Sketch specific.

If you want to be really consistent on your title/content, title would be more like, “Running Sketch on Windows via VMware” or “Sketch alternatives to read .sketch files on Windows” there people will not jump here with expectation of a native solution. Meaning opening/editing Sketch files with a third party app where it gives almost all capabilities of Sketch.

If I want to give a valid example; for office applications, OpenOffice for example a great alternative who people not willing to pay for Microsoft Office. I am referring this kind of comparison.

This is just my 2 cents. Hope you will not take it offensive.

Thanks.
