No, the book doesn't really focus on individual libraries (EF, MVC, etc.) as much as it just tries to focus on the language itself. I wanted to drive home the point that if you use C#, you can target all the major platforms :)

Language-wise, C# 5 comes with .NET 4.5, which is supported on Windows 7, but not XP. You can probably use Mono 3.0 on XP to write C# 5 though.
