Installing Windows on my Mac....
For developers, they just have to decide how far back they want to support, and test on the appropriate systems. Honestly, the multiple version problem seems 10.4, it isn't. Some apps that run in 10.4 don't run in 10.2, and likewise. That's not good. Eh? I've seen applications that require XP SP2 to install.

Vista and the uncertain wargamer
My point about the YaST modules is that things have to be installed (and run) even when not needed. For example, if I remove SuSEfirewall2 the YaST module is still installed and it keeps running even when I don't want it to. Further, if I try to force it to be removed, it screws up YaST update.
