TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management

Why would they support a dead OS? Windows 7 is months past end-of-life, receiving no security patches and hence unsafe to use.

And by the way they actually explicit mention it on the homepage - it says .NET 4.8 right under the download button.

True, that. Except who keeps track of which version of .NET works with what? I for one don't.

Years ago, I used to use TablePlus on my Win 7 box but eventually canned it for better (IMO) alternatives. So when TablePlus recently reappeared on HN, I decided to give it another tryout.

Not one to keep track of .NET compatibility, I simply clicked their "Download for Windows" button, and ran their setup program, which eventually prompted for me to download/install .NET 4.8, as if everything was okay so far...

All this extraneous effort could easily have been avoided simply by:

a) s/Download for Windows/Download for Windows 10/

b) Browser OS sniffing-->Sorry, you're using an unsupported OS

c) Their install program could have announced straight away-->Sorry, you're using an unsupported OS

Alternatively, you could just use a modern OS and no longer have to worry about whether or not programs are unsupported.

It is still being supported, if you buy said support: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4527878/faq-about-e...
