Think of the listing more as a "minimum version" (similar to a minimum
system requirement). There is no recommendation on those pages. The
"designed for XP Pro" is a qualification that has to be met on the vendor's
side of things.
The blurb explaining the "designed for Windows (insert version here)"
insignia doesn't go into great depth but this kind of rating has been
around since at least Win95. "Old time" Windows users will recognize what's
going on with this page but (and I think this is what you're trying to say)
it could be confusing to new users.
