Stephan,
Should there not be a simple mechanism for an image to advise the user that the current VM is below a minimum intended threshold version ?
Have it only presented when not headless and debugging is available - and otherwise write to something better named than "stderr" ?
Google mail (MarissaM's gMAIL) does this any time that I load it into IE 8 on Win XP ! ��In fact, even going to
google.com in IE 8 ( not
google.ca ... Canada has little history yet with class-action lawsuits, but we do have one precedent now ... ) tries to warn me that my IE is an unsupported browser ... and soon Google may warn me that my XP is not a supported variant of any known 32-bit OS for legacy Intel x86 ... insupportable, n'est pas/neh ?��
;-)
