Although I upgraded to Windows 7 over two years ago, I have to agree 
with you.  Windows XP SP3 support doesn't end until April 8, 2014.  As 
long as it is supported, I would expect developers to support it, also.

However, it *could* be a big deal for the PHP team to support Windows 
XP.  It all depends on the features of VS2012 they need.  Some may not 
be available in earlier versions.
