A bit misleading. Goes for other OS too but mentioned 7 because 2.53.1
removed pre Windows 7 support.
Speaking of W7, how much longer with upcoming SM support it?
No plans to discontinue. We were basically the last supporting XP and this
will hopefully last longer.

Frank-Rainer (or any other knowledge person), perhaps you could set me straight.
I can understand a modern computer (64 bit or 128 bit even) not being really
happy running an 8 bit (yes, that's were I started), or a sixteen bit or even
a thirty-two bit OS/Program ....
No 128 bit exists. maybe a few gpus but overall none.
But they should be able to run it wouldn't they?? O.K., not very efficiently,
but still .... And maybe as slow as wet weeks seem, but still.
Sure, the other bits and pieces (Java/JavaScript/etc) might be a problem, but
....!!
These days you usually use a vm for old stuff. You would need a supported OS
and nothing that old will boot on modern hardware.
Or am I totally off track!!
Very theoretical without knowing the actual use case. For Intel the
instruction set was only expanded as far as I know so even an 8088 assembler
program might still run unless I am mistaken.
