Comment (by PROTechThor):
A frontdesk email reads:
"It seems that the appropriate thing to do is to simply come right out
and say up front that Tor no longer supports use on Win7. Saying that
Win7 users need to get updates from MS is all well and good, but MS no
longer supports Win7 and does not provide those updates. Yes, they can be
had using other channels, but since you are offering a product for use on
Win7 it should contain all the files necessary, *as well as providing
updates to those files as needed* with your regular updates. See, even if
users have the files, they would still need to be updated as you make
changes to your code. And as the tor rep says in the ticket, the file
size is negligible.
This is simple disregard for your users and laziness. If you don't want
to provide support for Win7 that is fine. But you should be honest about
it, and say that on your main download page."
