[Pw_forum] Looking for testers (again) for QE-5.1 binaries for windows

[siddheshwar chopra]

Dear Sir,
I  willing to run QE on my Windows xp (with 2 GB RAM and dual core 2.7 GHz
cpu) and windows 7 (with 2GB  RAM and i3 2.2 GHz ) machines..
Sir I would be glad if you could clarify one doubt.. Is will there be any
DEGRADATION of QE performance on windows, as compared to linux?
I have used cygwin and virtualbox and found severe performance
degradations.
I would eagerly wait for your mail regarding the download links.

Kind Regards,
