I love wasting my time lol
Was working on eUXP (No idea if upstream will want this), but turns out Vista compat wasn't that hard lol
Kind of figured it wouldn't be insanely difficult, just more trouble than it was worth for a very small number of users. LOL. And I think we also weren't too fond of dealing with old-school critical sections instead of SRWLock type functions, but that was fairly minor in comparison.
I'd probably push back on XP support, but this... doesn't look as bad. It ultimately depends on whether we are more concerned with dirtying up the codebase with critical section code, or eUXP getting out of sync with UXP. Ultimately, it's up to MC. I don't imagine many people will care either way on Vista support, if I am being totally honest. The retro Windows community tends to split on XP/7 lines with Vista being considered the "bad one," and XP being just too old to support without pain.
The ugliest part of all this is that native Vista support means no DirectX 11 for those users (at least from what I am seeing), and critical sections come back. Though I seem to recall there was a way to get DirectX 11 working on Vista anyway?
