I think it's not a good idea to change the default before 08.04.2014 (WinXP Professional Extended Support End Date) or even 14.07.2015 (Windows Server 2003 R2 Extended Support End Date). According to the NetApplications (http://www.netmarketshare.com), WinXP is currently used by 31% of the desktop internet users. XP is still quite widely used, but its popularity is declining and many new applications don't target it anymore. Really?
Don't you think that the ability to enable its support explicitly, if needed, is enough? It's appropriate but not so convenient for me.
Btw, how can I override this default value? As it was described in the initial post: define BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION, _WIN32_WINNT or WINVER to the version you need. What exactly do I need to add to the command line of the regression tests to check the non-default configuration? Something like --bjam-options="define=_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501"?
