I think Alberto is right, Oddball notwithstanding.
No final release should carry such a burden.
If GM should be rolled out with the shadow of a doubt, it will have to be published, as to make people aware they are likely going to break their system.
Who should give such a Distribution a try ? No serious IT person I should think.
If we want to be renowned as the Distro for Geeks and Freaks, that's
way to go.

IMHO delaying 11.0 because of Vista is not the best thing to do. I don't see way we need to support window issues here. If someone really needs windows, then install XP.
Again, it's just MY opinion.
In a few words: this is exactly the reason it would make me throw a distribution away in favour of another one.
It's _impossible_ to think that people using the major opearating system has to adapt to use openSUSE. Like it or not, it's that simple.

Nobody realy cares about vista. All major laptops manufacturers have written drivers for XP, because
Not to mention that such bug could make it in the news, spread fast and make bad reputation for opensuse. Erik. the the
clientele can't use vista, besides that, many apps don't work with vista yet. Vista will be rejected by many, who will wait for XP-sp3, or the new windows, which is supposed to come someday.
I would suggest to find a solution, but not delay GM release for a crippled os, just because it has been made by the richest software firm.
