    <p>I think it makes sense to compare VS release dates against when the Windows versions became unsupported, rather than when the Windows versions were released.</p> <p>Once an OS reaches the end of extended support it stops getting security updates and anyone still running it can be considered insane and ignored (outside of very special cases). Before then, it seems legitimate (albeit annoying at times) for people to still use old OS versions and expect software to support them (although vendors, both third-parties and Microsoft themselves, can choose not to, of course).</p> <p>From Wikipedia, this is when each version of Windows became (or will become) unsupported by Microsoft:</p> <ul> <li>Jan 2020: Windows 7</li> <li>Apr 2017: Windows Vista</li> <li>Apr 2014: Windows XP</li> <li>Jul 2010: Windows 2000</li> <li>Jul 2006: Windows ME</li> <li>Jul 2006: Windows 98</li> <li>Jun 2004: Windows NT 4</li> <li>Dec 2001: Windows 95 </li> <li>Dec 2001: Windows NT 3</li> </ul> <p>Tying that to the details in the existing answer:</p> <ul> <li>VS in 2012 dropped Windows XP despite it being supported until 2014.</li> <li>VS in 2010 dropped Windows 2000 which expired soon after.</li> <li>VS in 2007 dropped Win98/ME both of which already expired.</li> <li>VS in 2005 dropped Win95 and NT4 both of which which had already expired.</li> </ul> <p>So it looks like VS2012 is the first version that will drop support for an OS which itself will still supported for at least another year. Assuming all these dates are correct (I haven't double-checked them; did this mostly for my own curiousity).</p>

    1. CO[This MS page](http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectwin) lists the links to all Windows support dates (and some). For the ones I checked, [wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows#History) and your list seems to be correct.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
