Lack of time to prepare it. I didn't see it as hugely problematic
since the Linux source contains all the important bits (other than the
windows-specific UI code of course).
With RC7 coming up shortly, there will be (definitely this time) a
windows source release done with it.

Why is it soooo hard for some people to ask in a polite manner first,
maybe even show a bit of patience, before posting in an annoyed tone on
two different forums at once ?????
It's not like people have been requesting the Windows source code daily
(actually AFAIK you're the first one in over a year), or that we could
read your mind that you would like to get access to it; and - believe it
or not - it's a bit more work than just dumping all the source code from
the repository into a zip file. Not an excessive lot of work, but work
nonetheless, competing with plenty of other issues (not to mention Real
Life) for the POV-Ray Dev Team's time.
Besides, if you're really desperate and in urgent need, it shouldn't be
to difficult to plug the RC6 code from the Linux source package into the
Visual Studio projects for RC3 to get you started.
Oh, and please forgive the Dev Team if you never see an official RC6
Windows source release; but knowing now that demand exists, I'm sure
we'll be seeing a Windows source code release for RC7, which is
currently nearing completion.
