Comment (by yawning):

 This doesn't affect us in the short-medium term (Tor Browser 7.0a/7.0.x),
 because the next ESR series (ESR52) will still support XP/Vista.  The ESR
 after that is when the problems start.

 Microsoft Windows or use Tail

 Extended support for XP apart from embedded variants ended on 2014/04/08,
 which was over two years ago.  If people haven't updated or switched by
 now, I doubt anything that we say would convince them to change their
 mind.  Extended support for Vista ends in April 2017, but I'd be willing
 to bet that there are more XP users than Vista users.
