Yes at the moment we have the problem that:

 Stas tags Wednesday evening US Pacific time
 Stefan builds Thursday during the day US Pacific time
 David announces after all this is done which is Thursday evening EU time
 sometimes it becomes so late that I can only do it friday morning.


So if we want to release Thursday, then windows builds need to be done one 
Wednesday.
