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." -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32327#comment:8> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
