Hello all,
I would like to propose to merge all MS Windows platforms into one.
Rationale - most of MS Windows problems are specific to more than one
version. Issues concerning only single version are minority vs the
rest (hint - some of issues are marked as single platform specific
because lack of testing on different configurations for other Windows
versions).
Also - there is a single MacOS platform and single Linux platform to
account everything from Debian on i386 to Gentoo on SPARC.
Specific Windows versions can be keyworded thus allowing to mark all
affected versions not only one selected as "platform".
In a hope of discussion and change,
Maris.

I agree it has always been awkward, but can the trac DB handle the merge without losing information or making us have to reassign all tickets to the new joint platform by hand?
is there any reason to do a search for e.g. XP but not Windows 8? (native wingrass is all XP+ so none that I know of)
