Hi Tim,
My thoughts are that I think when Win 7 first arrived on the sene that most
of us stayed with XP out of compatibility and comfortbility issues. However,
just from what I've been reading around the net on different forums, mailing
list and from my own experience I believe most have at least upgraded to
Windows7. Therefore it is my opinion that if dropping support for XP will
help SR to become more stable and lead to future developments I say do it.

Hi all,
In order to improve the screen-reader handling in SurfaceReader I need to
decide whether or not to continue to support Windows XP. I've provided this
support up to now because a lot of audio users were still using the
platform. However, it definitely introduces more work and issues and if
Microsoft aren't supporting it in terms of security fixes, etc. I really
think it's had its day.
Please let me know your thoughts and I'll make a decision based on feedback.
Best wishes.
Tim Burgess
