Wow, it's great that this only requires Windows 7. Its predecessor requires Windows 8, which I just installed today purely for the purpose of having Visual Studio. My only criticism is I wish it had come out half a day earlier...
I'm running VS2013 on a Win7 kernel (technically, Windows Server 2008 R2). I thought Win8 was only required if you wanted to develop Win8 aka "Metro" apps.
Ah, VS2013 Express for Windows refused to install on Windows 7 (which is the one for developing Windows Phone apps, my area of interest). Perhaps this requirement has not changed then.
