Works OK for me on a Win7 Pro machine.

Only observations are:

- Still 32-bit, why not using msys2 in 64-bit mode?
- The known slow webkit plugin loading issue, it took 30-60 seconds here
- In the installer for GP, the "configure components" page, the 
description for Dependencies checkbox is very long and the window isn't 
resizable so the text gets cut off.

Other than those (non-critical) issues, it looks great!
