This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm asking because my boss wants to know. What is the minimum Windows OS for binaries created with Visual Studio 2010? Not all the developers on the team have the Windows SDK installed. I know with it you can target down to Windows XP, but any idea what you can target without Windows SDK?

A:
Actually you set WINVER in any header file before the core window.h is included, this determines which OS is required by the binary.

What if you don't add that, what would the minimum be?

I don't know what the min is, but you should see some message in the output window saying "WINVER not defined, assuming ###".
