NVDA 2017.4 drops support for Older Operating systems (nvaccess.org)

There was a big stink about this on the NVDA list. I was like, look, why should people or even companies support older OS's when even the OS manufacturer doesn't even support them anymore? That is just silly.

Some, to this date, have a strange fascination with XP that I fail to understand. This was long overdue IMO.

I can see dropping support for XP for obvious reasons. But Vista and Windows 7 are still supported by MS. Only allowing a single operating system (Win 10) seems a little limiting. But, well, hard choices I guess.

People actually used Vista. Thought that was a funny joke

You got downvoted, apparently. We found the vista user!

They're still supporting Win 7, as long as service pack 1 has been installed. It's only win 7 without sp1 that isn't supported. And Microsoft no longer supports Vista. Microsoft an NVDA continue to support Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Ah, that's not so bad then. I didn't even realize Vista had ended support, it was in April apparently.
