Hi,

Is it possible to code in swift with a Windows XP machine?

---

Yes. See: 
http://swift-lang.org/guides/release-0.94/userguide/userguide.html#_running_on_windows

Swift on Windows has not been heavily used, and the Swift test suite 
does not yet cover it.

Some Windows configurations have encountered problems; others work.

Please try it and report your feedback back to the swift-user list. 
We'll try to fix problems, and would welcome help from Windows experts.

Regards,

- Mike
