I'm not sure if recent (10.6, 10.7) OS X versions are available for PPC, if they are, I guess we should support them, but as I already wrote in my poll, 10.5 is not receiving security updates any more, so the same goes for 10.4. We should not waste time supporting seriously outdated versions. Same goes for Windows: I haven't tried if the Windows X2Go Client runs on Windows 95, 98, Millenium, NT 3.something, NT 4 or W2K. Maybe it does, but I wouldn't rush to help anyone if it doesn't.We should limit our support to operating systems still supported by their manufacturer/distributor.Unless, of course, somebody proves me wrong by showing that a large part of our userbase is running on such manufacturer-unsupported operating systems.
Agreed! Another approach is: contract one of the developers to support old operating systems.
