You're right. I'll change it to "Windows XP or later".

IDK, I wouldn't be surprised if it ran on Windows 2000 (still the best OS Microsoft ever made)

Yeah, Windows 2000 was probably the best operating system Microsoft ever produced. It had no crashes, a snappy/intuitive/sleek user interface, and DirectX support for games. I am currently running Mac OS X because I never liked Windows XP/Vista/10/11.

In hindsight, the progress Microsoft made in the ten years between Windows 3.0 (1990) and Windows 2000 seems incredible. They transitioned from a 16-bit shell running on top of DOS to a fully-fledged operating system with a hardware abstraction layer, preemptive multitasking, permissions, a registry, proper device drivers etc.

Twenty-five years later, there has been basically no progress.

At a minimum, I would have expected something like the Knowledge Navigator

right, I suspect "NT" is the category they're looking for.

What's wrong with 2003?

Hilarious that this was literally my exact thought.

Also you are confusing Visual Studio and VSCode

"later" is for lazzy developers.

Better list the complete list of versions where it has been tested, like "Windows XP/7/8/10/11"...

The frontpage says now:

"It runs on Windows NT, version 2003/XP/Vista/7/8/10/11."

Victory!
