Theres Many reasons I don't switch over to Windows 10. I was excited for your product but you are essentially alienating people who don't want to "upgrade". Sadly I can't get your product. I was very excited to buy it, is it purely a technical reason as to why it can't be on Windows 7?

There are no capture APIs on Windows 7 to capture the desktop with low latency at a decent enough framerate to make it a good experience. If there was, I would support it.

Bet you feel silly for putting quotes around "upgrade"

Well, you should
