Nope, dead as a rock. 

Actually, I have no *reason to belive, that current versions wont work on XP*. 

However, I don't test on XP anymore, also because just running XP gives me the
creeps as its level of vulnerability is breathtaking. Not sure today, but
there was a time when it took reliably less than a minute for any fresh
installed XP system without firewall software to be infected with a busload of
shit by just connecting the system to the internet and waiting. 

However, the only thing I am aware of is that the "new" WP GUI standard Font
(Segoe UI) started shipping with Vista. I have no idea, if the font can be
manually installed on XP. However, when the font is missing, WP will just
fallback to the default system font, which should be a non-issue. 


Regards,
Tim
