I would like to know if XAMPP is natively compatible with Windows 10 because on this site:
https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
Just mention in Requirements:
Windows 2008, 2012, Vista, 7, 8 (Important: XP or 2003 not supported)
however there is no citation regarding Windows 10.
Yes, XAMPP does work on Windows 10.

we have an application running on windows server 2003 which needs to be migrated to windows sever 2012. Is it possible to do the as is migration without actually updating the application. The application is currently scheduled in windows scheduler on windows server 2003. Also please suggest if we can achieve this with any migration tool.
VB6 applications should generally work without changes in all current Windows versions, including Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10. The official word at Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows 10 is:
The Visual Basic team is committed to “It Just Works” compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications on the following supported Windows operating systems: Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 including R2, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 including R2, and Windows 10.
Now, you mention that this particular app is currently scheduled in windows scheduler. There have been significant changes between Server 2003 (or Win XP) and 2012 (or Win 8.x) in areas of security, file/registry virtualization, UAC etc. If your app violates any of the new rules, then it may require an update - but that would be because of what it does, and not because it's written in VB6.
I've installed several .exe created in vb6 in Windows Server 2012 R2 without problem.
The only question was the use of an very old setup.exe for installing, that was replaced to using an setup.msi, but the .exe and .dll and even .ocx incuded in the solution all works.
is it possible to develop windows 8 phone applications in windows 7 with vs.net 2010?
Or do I need to upgrade to windows 8 altogether?
Windows Phone 8 development possible under windows 7?
No, Windows 8 64-bit and Visual Studio 2012 are required.
Windows 8 Pro is also required to run the emulator (along with a processor that supports SLAT).

You can modify the installation files to allow it to be installed on Windows 7.
Here are the modified setup files for WP8 SDK 9900:
Run InstallWP8SDK.bat to start the installation!

Have fun developing on the good old Windows 7.
Do windows 7 and windows vista come with preinstalled msxml3.dll or should i use the newer versions? If so will msxml6 work on windows xp and win2k without installing any additional files?
Thanks :)
Yes MSXML3 is shipped with Vista and W7 (along with MSXML6 in so-called side-by-side installation).
You can install MSXML6 on the following Windows versions
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Windows Server 2003;
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1;
Windows XP Service Pack 1;
Windows XP Service Pack 2

Does anyone know the best approach to setting up an automated build of a Windows Phone 7 solution on Windows 2003 server?
The SDK will only install on Win 7 or Vista.
Please see this question regarding setting up the tools on Windows Server 2008.
It refers to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/02/10005980.aspx and while there is no comment on using this technique with 2003 but it'll be with giving it a try.
In order to set up the build process, the Windows Phone 7 SDK would be required. According to the download page, the only supported operating systems are:
Windows 7 and Windows Vista
Windows® Vista® (x86 and x64) with Service Pack 2 – all editions except
Starter Edition
Windows 7 (x86 and x64) – all editions except Starter Edition
Therefore, currently there is no support for Windows Server 2003 and you would have to install Windows Vista at least. This is introduced because of system-specific considerations (e.g. DirectX 10 capabilities).
So with Windows 7's XP Mode, will this allow developers to run Visual Studio 2003 on Windows 7 without hacks?
Thanks all!

Yes, most certainly. But not "on Windows 7", rather on a virtual machine running Windows XP hosted on Windows 7.
