And Neowin is a tech site
exactly, I rest my case....
A tech site would know which OS is the best right?
This isn't about what is "best".
Oh no? Then why does Plus! have more users than other addons?
Because it is the best. Period.
Best support.
Best features.
Most stable.
It is about the best. Not what you want.
You're completely missing the point and mixing things up.
A tech site like NeoWin has very obviously a lot of tech-oriented users. It is no surprise that such people quite often use the latest technolgies, not always because it is best, but because it is the latest; hence why they like a site as NeoWin so much. The whole essence for them is talking about technology and new stuff. They are, however, not represenative when it comes down to the 'common user'.
As vikke explained, this is not about what is "best". It is about what is used the most by the 'common' people.... And even if that is Vista (which I personally doubt), I don't see why 'XP-only' scripts should be simply removed, just like that, because you happen to use Vista.

Though I understand Patchou's POV that the DB isn't a DB for all existing scripts ever made, but it would be easy and more user-friendly imho to flag such existing scripts as XP-only instead. So that people who still use XP (which are still a lot; even on the 'tech-side'; see NeoWin's survey) can still use the DB if they want that particular XP-only script. For Vista users it would be easy to see that that particular script is XP-only, no harm done...
And I'm sure that if 'XP-only' scripts will be removed, there will be some outcry. Having an additional OS field in the scripts' descriptions and/or a category to choose from seems to be the best for both. In fact, I'm surprised why it isn't already there, afterall some scripts' descriptions also include "Messenger x.x only", which is kind of the same thing.
Vista is already pushed in our faces too much (imho), no matter how good or how bad it is. I hate to see Plus! going in the same direction (Plu$!), although I'm just a user.
