Windows XP is a 9 year old operating system, the extra burden to support 3 separate versions of Windows (XP, Vista, 7 in addition to various editions and Server releases is probably a bit too much even for a Company with the resources of Microsoft). These API’s in addition to security technologies are built into Windows Vista and Windows 7 and just cannot be back ported Windows XP.
