> "Related "MS ended support for Win7" - sorry, how it corresponds to development?! Does your operating system gone away from SSD? Or Windows become rusty? Not. SYSTEM WORKS AS BEFORE, so please don't write stupid reasons "MS doesn't support" - nobody care of it, system works as usual and nothing prevents you from using Win7 (as I do now)."

This is just nonsense. If the user feels so strongly, why don't they maintain the relevant software themselves and find out just how easy (not) it is to maintain support for an EOL operating system? Or why don't they just stick to outdated versions of all their software, like they chose to do with their operating system? Harassing open source developers who work for free is not a sane response.

No one was being harassed. They opened an issue because they were facing a problem, which is what issues are for. The first response was "they need to not offer the update on Win 7. We don't need our environments seamlessly fucked." from some random drive-by commenter. They posted that in reply after it actually got fixed by one of the vscodium maintainers.
