I agree. There are evidences of the contrary, for example many plugins
that have GUIs that are developed under Windows and render bad under
Linux and OsX.

The printing issue (of large layouts) is a known regression (used to
work fine on qgis 1.6), but again I agree with Paolo.

I use regularly QGIS on a Windows 7 64bit virtual machine and I don't
see much differences when compared to Windows 32bit.
