[Bf-committers] Windows XP support

[Knapp]

If your computer is so old that it is running XP then you will have
problems with most advanced features that expect you to have a powerful
computer. If the XP users really must use his old computer and he wants new
features that are not supported and he has internet then he can download a
new and modern Linux lite distro and run the newest Blender. It is not like
we are even locking out poor people by dropping XP support.
