+1 good catch

I believe in this section it should be "Visual Studio" as we specify
elsewhere [1][2]. In [2] we name specific required versions. Maybe we
should reference this section.

While on it, in [2] section 17.7.5 is named "Visual". I don't think
such a product exists and find it confusing. Maybe we should rename
the section to "Visual Studio".

Also I don't see any mention of the minimum required version of Ninja.
I think we should add it too, or maybe reference the corresponding
section I couldn't find in "17.1 Requirements"
