 ## -maxcpucount MSBuild switch
 
-If you use the `-maxcpucount` (`-m`) switch, which was introduced in MSBuild 3.5, MSBuild creates the specified number of *MSBuild.exe* processes that can be run in parallel. These processes are also known as *worker processes*. Each worker process uses a separate core or processor, if any are available, to build a project at the same time as other available processors might be building other projects.
+If you use the `-maxcpucount` (`-m`) switch, MSBuild creates the specified number of *MSBuild.exe* processes that can be run in parallel. These processes are also known as *worker processes*. Each worker process uses a separate core or processor, if any are available, to build a project at the same time as other available processors might be building other projects.
 For example, setting this switch to a value of `4` causes MSBuild to create four worker processes to build the project.
 
 If you include the `-maxcpucount` switch without specifying a value, MSBuild uses up to the number of processors on the computer.
