That's an important point: since Qt 5.7, we no longer support anything older than Windows 7. That was the first Windows with decent 64-bit support and computers with Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and now 10 tended to come with the 64-bit version pre-installed. So the chances of users running 64-bit Windows are much higher now. We only have to contend with pre-2007 computers that have been upgraded since. And netbooks, since many of the first and second generation Atom came with their 64-bit capabilities fused off. (Ultrabooks are always 64-bit and actually use Core processors, not Atom) -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
