While my total test time with http://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-2.6.4-2014-11-17-git-e59c3e0+-setup.exe is still measured in minutes on Win 7, I have not seen it crash, and I have exported reports in HTML and opened them with Firefox, Chrome and IE, although I had to let IE use Active-X, or whatever it said, and the graphs appeared to display correctly. I did not try stacked bars, which may be a separate issue. I would encourage other brave Windows users to test that release or one of the two more recent releases on their own test files.
