Maybe [1] will give some additional info.
It is out of the context of DRLVM discussion, but awt uses GDI+
extensively. According to [1] GDI+ is not available on w2k.

If you are going ot claim that you support a given platform, you better
test on that platform.  I agree that separate codebases have problematic
aspects (such as ensuring that bugs are fixed in all codebases for a
given version).

I'll argue again that will help this conversation is a techincal
discussion about what in DRLVM is winXP specific, what the alternatives
are, and what the costs are.
