Well, AIX is fairly unrelated to Linux...

V apps run on Windows XP without any issues. Rolling out a V application is just releasing one .exe file.

It is not that simple. If you are not careful you may end up using more recent winapi functions and/or constants that do not exist in XP. For example Rust supports XP on a best-efforts basis and as a result has broken XP support from time to time (the "tier 3" support [1] explicitly allows this situation). Unless you can run an automated CI on XP (does that even exist?!) you'd better support only recent OSes.

How far does the 'linux' specification go. Say I want to run a V program on AIX what kind of libraries will I need?
What about the 'windows' specification. Do the redistributables support windows 2000/7/Vista/8/8.1/10
We have a lot of different systems on our clients, mac as well. It would be nice to read concrete requirements for running to really see how much effort rolling out a V application would be.
