Just look at the market share stats:

15% which is more that Mac and Linux together!

Java 8 (not JavaFX 8 specifically, although we're part of Java 8 so it
also applies to us) is not supported on XP. It may or may not work, but
we're not testing that configuration.

Richard did you mean Java8 won't run on Windows XP, or that 3D features
won't be supported in Windows XP?
Thanks, best regards,
