"agnostic" = "independent", that is, programming that is untethered from other vendor's limitations, as suggested in the examples of Firefox and Opera working on XP when Google Chrome chooses not to, even suggested in my experience that Calibre 5 copies over to and works a charm for me in Windows 7.
"We" be "end users" who watch and figure out workarounds when something hits a brick wall.
"Free"? The value of any newer OS is not just measured in cost of acquisition of the OS itself, free or not, but in the cost of lost time, lost function, lost compatibility, lost control, lost access to peripherals, lost value of tips and tricks that no longer apply, and so on ( and the US NSA National Security Agency saying NOT to install it or not to leave it running, for security risk reasons ).
Yada yada, blah blah blah, all of this has nothing to do with Calibre.
All anyone has to say when presented with Windows 7 problems, and earlier, is
"... aside from using the last version of Calibre designed for your OS, just share your Windows 7 challenges with the other users here on the support forums, and work things out together, we don't even have access to older versions of the OS anymore, good luck ..."
... and move on, no need to castigate anyone, just diplomatically thank everyone for participating, and keep everyone happy.
More importantly, thanks to Kovid Goyal for a superlative program.
Now, c'mon, everybody, get along, BNBR, play nice.
See y'all in the Windows 7 support arena. ;-)
