Really, I use Win 2k8 stuff and Win7 quite a lot.
On Win 7 you have to search and install now unsupported VS EE 2010.
VS Express 2013 requires Win 8. And finding VS 2010 is not simply - I had to take install files from some private sources.

Example? Perhaps we could improve the docs then.
It was a VS 2010 related issues - not PostgreSQL issues

Well, FWIW, I have some extensions compiled on Windows using MSVC modules with stuff like perl -I src/tools/msvc build.pl that are out of the vanilla scripts and it works... The script is rather simple even if a bit grotty.
It is not hard for Windows C++ developer, It is little bit messy for Linux developer, and it is out of possibility usual Windows Visual Basic (and similar level) developers.
