Can you give me an idea of how big a ‘market’ we are talking about for these older OS releases?

If there is anything we can do that help make this happen let me know. I think the goal is to (at least initially) conditionalize the use of various C++11 idioms. But I think we will soon reach a critical mass where we will assume the compiler supports the newer language constructs. -Brent
