On windows - the combination of bandwidth to download data + local slow copy speeds leads to very slow project first runs.

open-streets takes ~ 10 seconds to show up after loading
geography class/control room ~ 25 seconds

Road trip takes much longer ~ 1 minute, 30 seconds.

Demo'ing TileMill at NodeSummit the first thing a tester did was click on road trip. Waiting over a minute is not going to work, so I've removed road trip from the windows installer.

I think we should consider removing it from other distros as well.
