[Qt-interest] Any serious reason MSVC 2010/Windows 7 is not supported as tier 1 yet?

[Constantin Makshin]

There're no problems with MSVC 2010's 64-bit compiler, it was fixed a
long time ago (http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-11445).

I guess MSVC 2010 being in Tier 2 is that its x64 compiler was fixed
after Qt 4.7 was released and Qt developers didn't want to make [more
or less] significant changes in platform support until Qt 4.8 is out
as patch releases (4.7.x) are meant to contain only/primarily
bugfixes.
