Re: [Gimp-developer] [PATCH] gimp-web: Update the Windows download link to gimp-2.8.0 [try 2]



Microsoft's Genuine Advantage was installed with SP3, but not SP2. There are millions of SP2 installs out there in the wild. If GIMP should basically run on SP2, I don't see a reason not to offer an (unsupported) installer for it; it's just a case of, as Jernej wrote, 'bumping the minimum requirement' down again.

bother with SP2, you might as well not bother with XP at all.

What means "offer suport" here ? Is to be expected that GIMP 2.8 will
not work at all on SP2, or is it just about offering help by someone in
case of install troubles or something ?

(Other than that, I believe that the "SP3" is just a centralized
collection of XP fixes, most of them being already present in a SP2
with all live updates accepted and installed. As for "monitoring&
reporting" folly, in case this exists, was this present only on XP SP3
and never since then on newer Windows versions ?
