"textContent": "> Honestly, my opinion here is... it doesn't seem very logical to try and support Vista RTM and SP1, when the platform can be updated to support most of the Windows 7 baseline functionality (DirectX 11 and SRWLock stuff to avoid the old-school critical sections) that is desired anyway. I mean, if that's a goal you have, then doing it your way makes sense for that, but I think that even if we did want to support Vista, this likely isn't the approach we'd take.\n>\n> And I suppose proper Vista support, like if someone were serious about it... well, that would require detecting what the kernel exports as far as SRWLock functions (falling back to critical sections only if they're not available) and being able to fallback to DirectX 10 only if DirectX 11 isn't available. That would probably be overkill in 2026 when we can probably safely assume anyone on Vista has installed all the updates that make it almost Windows 7 RTM, though.\n\nI was attempting to support baseline SP2 as I could not get any of the updates after that working even with Legacy Update.\n\n* * *",
