I echo this. I haven't seen any commits dealing with difficulty between the two 
OSes or having to keep code compiling or working with lack of features. I 
realise that my view of things is biased towards the non-graphical low end so 
there may be problems elsewhere.

With this I mean to say that Qt can probably keep Windows 10 working 
unofficially for some time. We won't promise it works and we may not fix bugs 
relating to issues not found on later versions, but it shouldn't stop working 
all of a sudden.
