AFAIR, that was a beta bug.

Not even close. MSVC 2012 RTM had no support for XP at all.

Ah, here's a blog post that confirms this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/06/15/1032064...

Have you actually tried to read said blog post? Later this fall, Microsoft will provide an update to Visual Studio 2012 that will enable C++ applications to target Windows XP means “you can target Windows XP just yet”, you know.

Nope. Multitarteting is --sysroot analog, but it's rarely necessary.
Well, Microsoft claims that it is necessary if you want to target WIndows XP. You can use some clever tricks to target Windows XP without doing that but they are even more fragile than multitargeting.

And I stand by my statement - glibc is literally the worst library in Linux. Bar none.

Well, Ok. Since by now we know that you are all too ready call black white and even ready to “stand by your statements” by adding links which state that black is indeed black and white is indeed white further discussion is completely useless. Because it's quite hard to discuss anything with someone who blatantly ignores logic.

Look at the date. It was in 2012 and the update with XP support was issued in 2013. It was true that initially MSVC12 did not support XP.

It's a matter for another thread, but I have other arguments (like schizophrenic API).
