Oh, you might want to have a look at the system requirements! What can I say it's a Gadget!  :lol:

Windows Vista... what, the Windows 7 Edition of Vista? :lol:

Seems a bit ironic to me though.
  When we unite against a common enemy that attacks our ethos, it nurtures group solidarity. Trolls are sensational, yes, but we keep everyone honest.

I *suspect* they mean this gadget to be made for Win7 professional users who'd like to drop support for XP ASAP, and are waiting for the 'official' MS date to do it. (Of course, IE6 support was dropped long ago but that didn't stop China...)

Hard to be sure really, according to the the overview it's mentions "Looking to get off Windows XP?", I pretty much find the question ambiguous.  It could mean a XP user looking to get off XP or what you said, did you really need to be specific about Win 7 editions?  :D

Even XP Home Edition is still supported to 2014.

Too many distros and most of them are the same shitty code with a new wallpaper...
