[[User:Olddog11|relayer]] ([[User talk:Olddog11|talk]]) 14:36, 11 February 2013 (MST) I think it is a good idea so as not to make the documentation look outdated, we should be promoting the software as modern and current. Probably no need to include XP, Vista and Windows 7, if let's go for Windows 7 only.
