What do you mean with “limited target support”?

Yes, Vista and beyond are missing from the “targets” list; nevertheless,
I don't know a technical reason why binaries created with VC8 won't run
on these platforms... I certainly never heard of an application not
working on Vista or 7 because it was built with VC 8...

I suspect the “target” has to be taken in an API sense here. So you
can't (easily) build applications that use Vista+ features because the
Windows API headers/libs simply don't have declarations for the
interfaces etc for these features.
But these things affects CS hardly if at all.
