Supporting old Windows versions for future versions of Angband

[backwardsEric]

Currently, Angband supports Windows XP or newer versions of Windows. Would anyone be inconvenienced if it only supported Windows Vista or newer?

i dont mean to speak for anyone but yeah if gamers still running xp or earlier surely they can just get an old copy and yeah if they want to get with modern angband maybe its time for an upgrade

Well I would be inconvenienced as my gaming PC still runs Windows XP, except I'm not actually interested in playing vanilla; variants all the way

I like having the code still support old machines but I see no need to build for any system that isn't expressly requested by enough people that the maintainer feels it is a good idea to include it.
that said, I have added big memory hog things too the borg that would make supporting an old low mem machine a bit of a challenge. If someone wanted me to condition things and make the borg slower and stupider conditionally on being on an old box, I could probably do it.
