Does this mean a client developed using WIF cannot be deployed to Windows XP machines? – Neil Barnwell May 27 '11 at 16:22
@NeilBarnwell I'd be "very surprised" if it worked; irrespective, it would not be a supported configuration by Microsoft. – Rowland Shaw Apr 04 '12 at 11:39

As per the documentation, WIF requires:

Microsoft Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7, or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit/64-bit)
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Identity Foundation
Microsoft Visual Studio® 2008 SP1

Two samples require additionally:
* Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio
* ASP.NET MVC 1.0
