DK commented on XERCESC-2011:
-----------------------------
Support for XP in VS2012 may be a 'stop gap' measure but MS did it for a reason
- there are still a large number of end users out there still on Windows XP.
Since the next version of VS is probably not until 2014 or 2015, it is also a
long stop gap!
Note: MS supports (as do most OS suppliers) a significant backwards
compatibility. I can confirm that our application built with V110_xp works on
all versions of Windows from XP to Windows 8 - i.e. on XP, Vista, Windows 7,
Windows 8, Windows Server 2003, 2008 & 2008 R2 (I haven't tested WIndows Server
2012). MS has to support XP applications on all the newer OSes, even if they
no longer support the OS itself, otherwise no one would ever migrate to the
later versions - although they might not migrate for other reasons like the
Metro interface on a desktop/laptop/server system without a touch screen!
I suspect that a large number of developers need to support the XP market but
want to move to VS2012 to get the new C++ features in the C++11 standard, I
believe that the Xerces-C developers should support XP with VS2012 - hence I
raised this issue.
