Re: FW: I think I already know the answer, but..

Thanks Scott for your explanation,
let me add my 5 cents to this discussion, for us here in Toronto it is a
resource question, we have a certain amount of resource, and we have to
decide where do we spend this resource.
For us supporting a platform means testing the product on that platform and
that costs resource even with automated testcases.

Then it becomes a question of how important is the platform in our
marketplace does it make sense to spend resource there and not implement a
new feature.

That is one of the reasons I sometimes run mini surveys to gage how many
people are on which platform so we know when we can drop a platform from
our supported list.
Certainly we also look at how Microsoft positions the platform and how we
expect our products to be  used on these.
