Another one in to webmaster.

Somebody tried to install 3.5 on his windows server 2003 x86 R2 Standard Edition Sp2 ENU, and was told that Vista or later is required.

Is this correct behaviour, or did we forget about such people?  Near as
I can tell some of them can still be on their very last gasp of 
being supported by Microsoft.

It's the correct behavior. 3.5 supports all versions of Windows that had mainstream or extended support as of its release on 2015-09-13. Windows Server 2003 R2 extended support ended on 2015-07-14 [1].
