Why we support various operating systems

Unfortunately, we have a limited amount of development and testing resources, making it important for us to choose to spend them wisely. At the outset of any project, we determine where those resources are best spent given our target market.

In the case of Windows, we wanted to get the "most bang for our buck". We chose to test on versions of Windows that are seen as a superset of the others, as well as those specifically made for our target market. The idea of focusing on a superset is that, while we do not specifically state support for other versions (i.e., general subsets), we have the greatest chance of producing a product that runs on all versions. We would like to state official support for all flavors of Windows, but it is not pragmatic, given that we don't have the resources to test on all flavors.

Hope that helps.
