Hello,
I agree that the documentation is outdated, as it often tends to be. If
we are to fix this, I would advocate for using language that is more
likely to survive. Instead of specifying specific versions in the text,
say that any Windows version still under Microsoft support should be
able to build the JDK.

I think to build this, you're looking at a minimum of Windows 7 or Windows
Server 2008 R2 (NT 6.1). The Boot JDK from openjdk.org just won't run on
anything older.
While you can technically use older build tools (like Visual Studio) on Windows
Vista, the Boot JDK is the bottleneck here, as it requires Windows 7/Windows
Server 2008 R2 (NT 6.1) or later.
Maybe better say , where it works, like Windows 10 and higher ?
(who needs those XP / Vista stuff these days ?)
Best regards, Matthias
