Oh I didn't realize that, I thought it still experimental-ish. That's great.
Building Racket on Windows has seemed daunting. For the same reasons I'm using Racket I don't have full MSVC installed these days (IIUC you can't build with Express). And gcc has felt like more Cygwin than I've really wanted on my laptop. But when I get some time to try I will give it a shot. It would also be positive to have an official build someday. Vista 64 was otaku. Windows 7 64-bit is quite mainstream.
