If you plan to release something to customers on any platform I would
suggest that you better actually test your product on the platform in
question. However, starkits work fine on Vista. If you make use of tile (ttk
in 8.5) then you can even make it look correct for XP and/or Vista. If there
are any problems it will be to do with the user access control functions and
your application trying to write into forbidden areas of the registry or
hard disk. The only way to be sure of that is to actually test it.
