   Nope, dead as a rock.    
      
   Actually, I have no *reason to belive, that current versions wont work on XP*.    
      
   However, I don't test on XP anymore, also because just running XP gives me the   
   creeps as its level of vulnerability is breathtaking. Not sure today, but   
   there was a time when it took reliably less than a minute for any fresh   
   installed XP system without firewall software to be infected with a busload of   
   shit by just connecting the system to the internet and waiting.    
      
   However, the only thing I am aware of is that the "new" WP GUI standard Font   
   (Segoe UI) started shipping with Vista. I have no idea, if the font can be   
   manually installed on XP. However, when the font is missing, WP will just   
   fallback to the default system font, which should be a non-issue.
