Maybe performance relevant?Wordwide marketshare of Windows XP is ~10%: https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0Windows XP support has ended at 8th April 2014: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support Edited January 5, 2016 by raymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leper Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Maybe an option also for 0.A.D.?Maybe, but I fail to see the point to drop things that work and do not cause any additional work. (And to gain access to properly supported APIs we'd also have to drop support for Windows Vista (and maybe some early versions of Windows 7)) Maybe performance relevant?Doubt it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymond Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Dropping Vista and early versions of Windows 7 are also okay for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I see no point of doing that as long as they are supported. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
