Your impression is wrong, as I know as a matter of fact.

And honestly speaking, I'd prefer if you and others would adjust their tone on this mailing list a bit. We (as in Qt developers and especially Digia) do of course QA testing, and actually invite everyone to join and test packages _before_ the release. I, as a matter of fact, also care about Windows developers, and for sure Digia (my employer) doesn't "loathe windows". Others are working full time on Mac.

I think the message that some of you can't just install perl got through. Over-the-top rants like this certainly do not help.

Regards

Kai
