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

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

Thanks everybody for comments.

Just additional thought about 64 bit alignment bug in VS2010.

>> 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 have not found any evidence that any  of official Microsoft updates fixes above mentioned issue.
So MS2010 is broken unless you apply hotfix.
Assuming not everybody knows about such bug,
it would be great, if it were listed in Qt supported platform notices.
In similar situation Qt documentation does list required service packs.

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.
