Or you could just hide the scripts that aren't compatible....

I agree with Cookie entirely, XP is used by a lot more people.  The Neowin tech site has many people that like to have the latest in technology and if it is that close among them, then the rest of the community are even less likely to have it.

I personally am not planning on even looking at moving over until next year, hopefully by that stage MS will have improved it to a reasonable level.  Service Pack 3 for XP is going to keep a lot of people using the product as well.

Scripts should be compatible with every version of Windows in a perfect world, but I personally believe that we need to cull the scripts that are poorly coded before we get rid of those that are only compatible with XP.  And I reiterate what I have said in numerous places, scripts should be made to be on the scripts forum first so that problems with the code can first be fixed and the code reviewed (well at least the opportunity).  We have many people around here that do that already with whatever they see.

Further, many developers don't have vista and as such cannot test to see that their script works, and they aren't aware of any possible problems as they have never coded for it.  I guess this is further reason to make sure that there are threads for each and every script in the database....
