First of all, I don't care much for ms-windows support, so I'm not the
ideal person to answer the question.

I guess they have decided to go for VS2012 MSVCRT, which do not have XP
version, but there is a rumour that there will be a ms-win-XP version
post-RTM patch, if this true then you can get PHP 5.5 to run on ms-win-XP.
You have of course the option to upgrade the OS, there are quite many
suggested at the distrowatch.com, you could install something like
cygwin or similar and build php for that environment (I think this will
break all IIS dependencies you may have in your set up) or you could
install a VM (using VirtualBox or similar) which runs another operating
system (legal options can be downloaded with help of links at
distrowatch.com, or illegal versions of later ms-win can be found with
help of piratebay.se).
