When counting up MS Windows versions we should not count the ones that failed in the marketplace. Windows 2000 was a success. Windows Millenium was a failure and was not widely used. Windows XP was a big success. Windows Vista did not sell well except as a preinstalled system on new or refurbished computers. Windows 7 appears to be another big success.
I suggest that Scribus developers concentrate on Windows XP and Windows 7. That is where the bulk of Windows users are. If a Vista user wants to become a Scribus user then they should be encouraged to upgrade to Windows 7. That will be beneficial to them in many ways beyond just hosting Scribus. Commercial users of Windows resisted pleas to upgrade(?) to Vista. Many bought new computers with Vista on preinstalled and refitted those computers to Windows XP for compatibility and ease of inhouse support. That is the real world. Dropping XP support and testing but retaining Vista support is a bad idea. -- John Culleton, typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
