First of all, I don't care much for ms-windows support, so I'm not the 
ideal person to answer the question.

I guess they have decided to go for VS2012 MSVCRT, which do not have XP 
version, but there is a rumour that there will be a ms-win-XP version 
post-RTM patch, if this true then you can get PHP 5.5 to run on ms-win-XP.

You have of course the option to upgrade the OS, there are quite many 
suggested at the distrowatch.com, you could install something like 
cygwin or similar and build php for that environment (I think this will 
break all IIS dependencies you may have in your set up) or you could 
install a VM (using VirtualBox or similar) which runs another operating 
system (legal options can be downloaded with help of links at 
distrowatch.com, or illegal versions of later ms-win can be found with 
help of piratebay.se).
