Having followed this thread, I can well see why Sebastian and others were offended. I mention that not just to keep throwing gasoline on the fire but because I intend what follows to be a *respectful* suggestion. Given the animosity on this thread, I don't want people to misunderstand that. >> I was not reporting the bug as such, I was asking if (as there was a bug >> and at the same time my old running version was telling me it needed >> replacing), it was being supported still, but I got curious replies, so >> I asked why, simple. >> > > If a binary runs on an old OS - great - however, I think it's important > to note that if you use an EOL OS - you should probably consider that > the support that matters is not Tor but Microsoft. Since I don't run Microsoft software I have not paid a great deal of attention to the downloads the Tor Project offers for it. So I went and took a look at your download pages to see what Anon Mus was talking about. I see that for the bundles, you indicate the Microsoft Windows versions are for Windows 7, Vista, and XP but for the Expert package (should it really be called a bundle?) you also list other versions of the OS. While I do not at all agree with the tone of some of his posts, I wonder if Anon Mus might not have a valid point about this. Perhaps on the Expert package for Windows a brief explanatory note should be added reflecting some of the discussion on this thread?
