Change NT5 to NT5.2 and the list should become quite short.
As long as no one proposes a major change, we are still heading for NT5.2 compatibility (at least kernel-wise). And then we have to verify that all our API implementations are not just compatible to some NT5 version but 100% compatible to NT5.2.
I think it's more important to test against XP from an API level as that's what most software is installed on
Encountering an NT5.2-incompatible API can be as easy as testing screensavers (see r28953/r28955). Tell me how to avoid such mistakes in the future if we don't consequently test against NT5.2.
Whilst parts of our kernel try to target 5.2 changes, from a testing perspective it should be pretty much identical to 5.1.
IMO, unless you're a kernel dev interested in implementing some of the more elegant kernel features in 5.2, then anyone with a 5.1 box is more than adequately setup and I can't think of any worthwhile advantage in having a 5.2 install.
