Description dlipin 2010-06-28 09:46:07 UTC 
As for now (6.9, daily) the Windows option claims "Windows 2000/XP/Vista" though we support Windows 7 for some time already. 

We should fix that either by using "Windows" or "Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7". I guess the first one is better. Even though the first option сan be treated as "Windows 95/98/ME is also supported" but a very few users have such systems these days. The second option is precise but excessively informative.

Certainly, we also have Windows NT, 3.x, etc - but that is the same thing as with 95/98/ME...
