Never Visual Studio in Vista

[WinFX]

A bottleneck that exists in Windows prior to Windows 7 is that it does not work beyond VS2010.

VS2010 and earlier, the highest version of .NET Framework is the one that comes with the product (except for 2005 which had an update for DOTNETFX3.0). But since VS2012, it supports up to 4.8 without exception.

The extensions manager doesn't work anymore in VS2010 due to the TLS 1.0 apocalypse.

i don't use visual studio but how does tls 1.0 affect it? what about installing the server 2008 updates for tls 1.1 and 1.2?
