I'm currently evaluating Elasticsearch and Kibana but I notice that the [support matrix](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix) doesn't include support for Windows 7 or Windows 2008. Are there know issues with running either Elasticsearch or Kibana on these platforms or is it simply that Elastic don't test on these platforms now? ---

We don't test on them, primarily due to age. ---
