Antoine asked about one several weeks ago. I have a Windows 8 x64 machine that I am planning on setting up once I have the time. I'll try to shift things around and get it back into the >fleet.

The machine used to be the 2008 x64 build slave we had last year.

I freely admit to not being a buildbot specialist, haven't touched those things for some years. Hence my perhaps silly question: Why do we need multiple windows machines, since they can cross compile and cross run left right and centre?
Virtual PCs can be used to test compatibility with earlier versions. K
