it would, just without standard library support, as the default stdlib imports system APIs that older versions don't provide. Other than those and a "supported OS version" filed in the PE header there isn't really much e

It's instructions for the Windows RDP server to enable RemoteFX support so that the Rust client can make use of it. Maybe I'm missing something, but for the server side it's only crates that help you build your own server, no
