Win Xp compatible?
spike43884:
Ahh good ol' multiboots
1 Linux Ubuntu, 1 Windows 8.1 (which I never use?) and 2 Windows 7 (1 for development and 1 for, my stuff :3)
And my computer can still run games at 30 FPS

I've generally kept DB3 targeted against the latest .NET SDK. The last one wasn't very impressive, but Soon there's going to be fun stuff to play with, so I'm trying to keep it targeted against the latest SDKs and IDEs.
You may be able to get the program to run against Mono. 99% of the code is just generic C#. The math library Azimuth has a C++ preprocessor that was compiled for Windows, so that wouldn't run on linux, but it might run on XP. The graphics library is targetting DX9, so that too won't work on linux (without maybe Wine or something along those lines) but it might work on XP. But I'll definitely say XP is not a supported platform (in fact, the only supported platform is whichever one I happen to be programming on :P Right now it's windows 7, but I might go to win10 when that's a thing).
If you're sticking with XP right now because of cost, I hear rumblings on the blogosphere that Microsoft is thinking about releasing a version of windows 8 for free.
Peter:
Do you mean windows with bing? That's just for new tablets with a size <9 inch, bigger tablets get a discount. Almost seems coordinated with intel, who also put the atom chips for tablets on sale. Seems they want to enter the budget tablet market, the resulting tablets start around 80 euro including a one year subscription for office 365.
Numsgil:
Oh, I thought there was some rumblings about it for Desktop, but I can't find any mention of it online so it must just be windows with bing :/
Welwordion:
yes beside laziness, and a kind of hoarding attitude that has accumulated a lot of stuff on my pc, the cost was definitely a factor I waited with a new operating system.
I think I will try to get it a christmas present from someone XD.
