Perhaps Corinna can confirm that?
Basically, yes. The next version of Cygwin will still run under XP with a high likelyhood since I didn't remove any code yet, and I didn't addd any OS function calls not available on XP. However, I don't test on XP or 2K3 anymore, and I'll mostly ignore bug reports related to running under XP in future. As soon as a new version of Cygwin won't run on XP/2K3 anymore, I'll let everyone know early enough.
