Does this affect the runtime, or just compilation? Mono is the only post C# 4.0 implementation available for Windows XP users.

@myrup you won't be able to run Mono on Windows XP anymore. It is no longer supported by MS and spending time on workarounds for missing APIs doesn't make sense.

I'm sad to hear that on behalf of our XP users. I guess they'll be stuck in mono 3.12.1 until their beige machines flameout.

Mono 4.0 should also work.

The XP kernel is missing some calls we make in the runtime

This was true for XP SP2. Mono 3.12.1 was broken (partly) because GetLogicalProcessorInformation of kernel32.dll was missing. But it was added with SP3, which makes mono 3.12.1 work on XP. Maybe setting the requirement to XP SP3 is possible?

We're moving to use Vista+ APIs, which makes using XP impossible.
One alternative is for those to be provided by whoever wants to target XP.
