How would you feel about setting minimum supported version to 8.0? I want to do this because of the GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime function, which appears in 8.0 nd neatly solves the time issues in the win32 VM (use of the millisecond clock to derive greater precision than the 15ms tick in GetSystemTimeAsFileTime causes significant direct over the course of several days).
