Didn't someone just recently write that working with "Betas" is essentially futile because you don't really know what they are going to release?
Not futile, but hazardous. Depending on not-yet-released features for your applications can be highly risky. Friends who designed an app based on BizTalk Beta One got creamed when Beta Two was, for all practical purposes, a different server. However, if you're depending on future versions of Windows to host your applications, you need to find out if your apps are going to have problems with the new features.
If your clients have cash to throw away on eye candy and risk, by all means let them. And they can pay you to upgrade their software as needed.
My clients are forced to buy new machines as their older ones age and fail. They can only purchase the OSes that are available for sale. That's one of the reasons I'm shopping for an OS with better long-term support.
You didn't promise them it would work on all future versions of Windows, did you?
