PB IDE option labels for Windows 7

I've noticed that several option labels in the PB IDE specifically reference Windows XP or Vista. With Windows 7 to be out later this year, should those labels be updated to be more generic?

For example, I assume there will be an Administrator mode in Windows 7?
If so, then the compiler option should maybe just be "Request Administrator mode for Windows" ? Same for the User mode option.

Maybe the XP skin support option in compiler options and editor preferences should just be "Enable Windows skin support" (is this option disabled on platforms like Win95/98 that don't support it?).


How well IS PB working on the Windows 7 betas?

I've no problems with PureBasic or its executables in Windows 7 (just tried x86 version).

That's an easy fix and freak can do that in a few seconds if he feels lke it :P
Just add a "+" like XP+ or Vista+ *laughs*
