Nothing prevents you from using the tech preview version of MinGW.

is there a gcc 4.2.* version supported on Windows?

thomas:
Yes, but it is considered a "technology preview" release.
For the most part, it works nicely from what I can tell (using it every day), but it requires a few initial tweaks during setup, and it may have issues that are not yet known.

Considering that some of our users still don't know the difference between a poll and a normal thread, we did not deem it a good idea to bundle a "non-stable" compiler as the default.
