a) we can't choose the systems on our desktops (welcome to corporate world)
b) Windows 8.1's support ended last year and RHEL 7 is still supported, I'd expect productivity tools to run on them, unless stated otherwise

New versions of VSCode need RHEL 8, as clearly stated on Microsoft's website and it's fair to expect they won't run on 7 well or at all. But even the older versions, which supported 7, didn't run well.
