it’s been hinted that support for Windows 7 is on its way out as none of the major developers use Windows 7 as their primary OS.

It’s still supported in current Dolphin builds but it may miss out on certain features going forward or even be completely dropped even though it still has around 1/3 of total Desktop OS market share.
