I am not sure this is wise... might even be a good reason to step
back to MSVC2008... at least until Qt switches to MSVC2010... But you
are the one to decide.
Windows 2000 is 12 years old and no longer receives security fixes.
Therefore it's hardly used anymore.
Not really true. But I am suspecting that MSVC doesn't support Win2000
on purpose... Anyway, those who want LyX will have to upgrade to XP or
Linux then :-)
I'm maintaining a dozen of dependencies and simply don't have the time
to support different compilers. Last year I decided to use MSVC 2010
for the new dependency platform in order to be future proof. Spending
months to develop new dependency packages which only support an old
compiler just didn't make sense to me.
Fair enough. As I said, you are the one to decide.
