>Feedback: Hate that I can't build things in C++ that target XP using 2012.
lol. I apparently need to come give the VS team a brief on the VS team decisions. They've reacted to that crticism as well and are going to release an Express SKU with Desktop support.
No, that release targets 'all OS versions that 2012 supports'. XP is not in that list. And in fact that link is just the link that the Ars link I posted to points to (whew). The problem with XP is that the CRT in 2012 is not supported on XP, thus any programs you built on it that depend on said CRT would not run on XP.
