The Cygwin support for XP is very much appreciated as the latest Windows 
releases are not really ready for prime time office work yet.  Windows 
10 is making some headway in this respect.

I'd like to say a sincere thank you to Corina (and the rest of the team) 
for supporting XP for this long, and I hope she stays so busy the issue 
of removing XP support never becomes a priority. :)
