I recently re-installed my OS and setting up my Lisp environment (SBCL, Quicklisp, SLIME+Emacs) took about 30 minutes.

Yeah, download SBCL, load quicklisp.lisp, done.

I don't see what the problem is on Windows.

Several years ago SBCL was unusable for game programming on windows due to crashes. I tried and eventually gave up.

My info is out of date though. Maybe it's better now.

I've not had any issues with SBCL on Windows except with the thread support.
