Is anyone going to make a build that will work on Windows XP. I don't want to hear that windows stopped support for it etc. I still use it and always will. All the other O/S's suck and not worth installing them and searching for drivers.

you can't run a newer Kodi version on XP as you basically would have to revert a whole lot of the changes we did which require the newer Windows and DirectX APIs and are mandatory for some of the new features. So I highly doubt anyone would even try to make current Kodi version again compatible with XP.
As for drivers, if Kodi is the only thing you run on that box, go for OpenElec as it should run out of the box with no drivers needed, if you want a more recent Kodi version or just stick to what you have.

But on a more serious note: the answer is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY

Just use Linux or Android if you don't want to be bothered with Windows but you still want a newer version of Kodi.

There already is a build that works on XP.
