Hi Corinna,

Therefore it might be a good idea to bump the default for these
Cygwin-related headers to at least 0x0600.
Setting them to 0x0602 sounds like a good idea, but as long as we
didn't
drop Vista or W7 support it might be premature.
Btw., checking Cygwin sources for Vista and W7-specific code, it
turned
out that actually very few lines of code handle Vista or W7-specific
workarounds. The advantage of removing the code is pretty minor, so I
didn't push the changes. While it's a bad idea to keep Vista and W7
running (at least attached to the internet), we can support them a
while
longer.
I would expect support for Windows 7 as long as the Micsrosoft ESU
program is active.
I would just like to chime in that it would be a crying shame if Cygwin
were to ever drop support for Windows 7. There are many people, myself
one, who are dead set against Windows 10.
Thanks.
