To note: all binaries coming with recent windows versions (that are not
.NET), e.g. explorer.exe, paint.exe and so on, are linked against the good
old msvcrt.dll. And because of this, msvcrt.dll is the only CRT, that is
distributed with every windows version (since 98 or so).

And as you can see, the version of the latest msvcrt.dll is rather new and
is so officially supported by MS.
