[ros-dev] "Note: LibreOffice 5.4 will be the last codeline tosupport Windows XP or Vista"

I think it’s no neccesary to implement NT6, only to avoid the compatibility tests to NT6 and implement only the characteristics that the most of the programs uses.

Hello Colin,
As this definitely wasn't the predominant thinking the last time this same discussion took place, Hermès' email scared me a bit. Thank you so much for clarifying.

Best regards,
Riccardo Paolo Bestetti

Rest assured, we know that ReactOS won't be of much use if we stay NT5-only. Work is underway to provide a seamless support of NT6 applications on top of the existing codebase.
Also the majority of developers should be using an NT6 platform themselves, so they certainly aim for support for NT6 applications.
Finally, applications compiled by modern versions of Visual Studio are NT6-only by default, so supporting this platform is unavoidable.

Just my two cents, as the previous replies could lead you to believe we're failing the reality check.

Cheers,

Colin
