[windev] Windows 7

[truckleaj-windev@yahoo.co.uk]

Interesting. I have been telling users that 2000 is the minimum I support f=
or sometime.

I only upgraded to 2005 last year so I don't think I will upgrade to 2008 y=
et.

But I am now tempyed to get this windows7 when it is out then.

Simply, yes.
It doesnt matter what OS you install VS2005 on - Hell you could install it =
on Linux using Wine and it wouldnt change what OSs the build applications r=
un on.

Choosing your target OS is the case of (a) setting the WINVER (and some oth=
er related) environment variable. This simply modifies the windows header f=
iles to 'expose' newer functionality so you don't use APIs not avaiable on =
downstream OSs.

That said, if you upgrade to VS2008, that DOES stamp a minimum OS version o=
f '5' into the PE header of generated EXE and DLL files, which does limit y=
ou to Windows 5 and up :- Windows 2000 being the first windows versioned at=
 5. (i.e. no 95, 98, 98SE, Millenium or NT 4).

Hi

Wondered if one of you could clarify this for me ...

If I was to install the new Windows 7 on my computer and Microsoft Visual S=
tudio 2005 and compile my MFC applications, will they still operate on Wind=
ows 2000 and Windows XP?

Right now I am using XP and I have held back from upgrading because of this=
 concern of mine.

Thank you for anyone who can clarify this for me.

Andrew
