I, and my company WANT 4.x to succeed and more than that, we WANT LINUX and openSuSE to succeed, but that depends on attracting and keeping the Windoze lemmings.

That is an interesting new claim: can you please give functionality examples to which Windows users are used to that are not available with KDE 4.1?
but as long as 4.x is still 'pre-release' or 'beta' quality with huge gaps in functionality or stability remaining
I dispute the existance of "huge gaps". :-)
Offering the legacy version until 4.x matures is almost cost-free.
You are mistaken: it requires efforts both pre- (keep it building and working, branding, testing, translation, documentation, ...) as post-release (security fixes for two years).
