Hi Mats,
I'm a (mainly) Windows user, and I work without problem with QGIS in 
Windows... I don't understand your problems. Could you be more precise?
In Windows XP I'm using with great satisfaction QGIS 1.4 (trunk), 
installed with OSGeo4W, with all amazing last updates and every day I 
can update my installation with the last version...
It seems to me that you are polemic without reason :-)
