I’m just curious: why Windows 8 sys req

Hello, I was wondering why Windows 8 is the minimum version allowed to run current Calibre. I am a hobby programmer myself and do not understand this requirement. Maybe someone can explain it; thank you.

There is some information here and a long discussion here. There is a lot more discussion around that you can find using google.
