It's inevitable we are going to leave behind some people with the 2.x architecture. We've accepted that already. The survey should hopefully help us determine how many will be affected, and how badly. On the other hand, it may not be as bad as you think. If you have a video chipset that does hardware accelerated GL, you'll be ok. If you don't, but you have a free PCI, AGP, or PCI-e slot, such a card can be gotten for cheap ($40 USD or less) and there are fanless and/or low profile options too. If you have no free slot and your onboard video chipset cannot do hardware accelerated GL, this is probably the worst case scenario. You almost certainly won't be able to run Freevo 2. However, Freevo 2 is not ready yet, and Freevo 1 I imagine will be maintained for some time still while Freevo 2 lags on the feature set. (Depends on what Duncan wants to do.) So you might well get another couple years out of the unupgradable hardware yet.
