As far as Mac goes, I think Rev 2.7 was the first version to be able
to build Universal binaries i.e. standalones that run natively on both
PowerPC & Intel Macs.

At the moment, PowerPC apps will run on Intel Macs using Rosetta
emulation, but who knows how long Apple will keep that going.

For Vista, I think 2.8.0 was the version which introduced
Vista-compatibility. Standalones built with earlier versions may work
without looking quite right. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than
me about Windows can chime in here.

HTH,
