A quick google of "7.4 Win32 release" will reveal that the above was 
precisely what was said about 7.4: it would be released to not hold 
up important features like the IN optimization and a quick 7.5 would 
have Win32 and PITR. It's almost as if a cron job reposts this 
thread every 6 - 12 months. For those of us that are desirous of 
PITR, it's a 6 month reposting that is becoming painful to read...
