No, it doesn't in this case. Yaakov is talking about mingw-w64 headers used to create *Cygwin* applications using the occasional Windows function. Cygwin executables in the distro run on Vista but not on XP or 2K3 anymore, given the Cygwin DLL doesn't. Therefore it might be a good idea to bump the default for these Cygwin-related headers to at least 0x0600. Setting them to 0x0602 sounds like a good idea, but as long as we didn't drop Vista or W7 support it might be premature. Btw., checking Cygwin sources for Vista and W7-specific code, it turned out that actually very few lines of code handle Vista or W7-specific workarounds. The advantage of removing the code is pretty minor, so I didn't push the changes. While it's a bad idea to keep Vista and W7 running (at least attached to the internet), we can support them a while longer. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer
