Windows XP support

[Igor Sapego-2]

Hello Igniters,

So, I've been working on implementation of futures support for C++ [1] and
It would be convenient for me to use condition variables on Windows [2] as
well as on Linux. The problem here is that they are not supported on
Windows XP.

So I've checked documentation [3] and found out that we claim Windows XP
support. Does anyone really needs it? AFAIK Windows XP is not supported by
MS any more.

Would not it be more convenient to drop its support if no one needs it so
we can use more modern tools?

I don't think we should bother with supporting 16 year old discontinued OS.
Vista support has also ended (just 10 days ago).

We should put Windows 7 there as the oldest supported version.

Agree, let's drop XP support.

+1 for the discontinuation. Igor, please update C++ readme doc once this feature is implemented. I think it’s still fine to claim that Windows XP, Vista are supported for Ignite Java lib.

Pasha, what’s about .NET? Do we still support these ancient Windows versions or the doc has to be altered as well?

Done. I'm going to refactor code appropriately then.

Best Regards,
Igor

Ignite.NET depends on Ignite C++, so we have to drop XP support there as
well.
