[WG: Sakai QA] QA 2.7.0 Compatability list.

[Berg, A.M.]

Hi Sean,

Very good question. I consider that a difficult question due to the limited QA resources and can't give an opinion yet. It goes without saying that the QA effort will deliver best effort to include biodiversity in client OS's and browsers.

Just did not want you to think you were talking into a vacuum, hence this reply. Perhaps others have an opinion.

Are you distinguishing between or including target OSes on the client  
(e.g. Mac OS X 10.6.2, Windows 7, etc.)?
