-Any incompatibility or bug with a specific version of Windows should be reported via our bug-tracker. +This is the 1st release to drop support for XP & Vista. Although it is probably possible to still use them by specifying an external X server under x2goclient Options -> Settingsor simply replacing the x2goclient\VcXsrv folder.

-Deprecated versions of Windows are going to become incompatible in the coming months. Cygwin has already dropped support for them, and upgrading all the Cygwin components is planned for the coming months.+
