Well, be aware that we don't officially support XP and haven't 
for a while. Odds are, it'll work in most cases, but there may be 
functionality in druntime or Phobos which relies on system calls 
added to Windows in Vista. So, while you're obviously free to use 
an older version of Windows if you want to, there's no guarantee 
that it'll work with a current or future release of 
dmd/druntime/Phobos/etc., and we won't fix it if it doesn't.
