[Interest] Qt5 on MSVC2008, Win7x64 (Tier1)?

[Philippe]

I was also reluctant to move from VC2008 to VC2010. But after more than 6 months, the move is ok. My experience is that the IDE is stable (I dare to say more than VC2008). The IDE is slower but this remains ok. However, when working intensively on a big project, I sometimes have to quit and relaunch the IDE after a few hours, to recover original speed.
