If no one buys it then it doesn't stand much of a chance to get driver support. Look, XP64 was the same way. I got it when if first came out and to this day I still don't have 100% driver support for all of my hardware. Besides, no operating system is ever complete, thats why you have updates. I admit, an OS will get abandon in enough time. Just like how 95,98,ME etc are no longer supported.

Go ahead, buy it. Just don't expect it to work the way you want right away. I would advise installing it alongside you current OS, and start bugging the manufactures of all the unsupported hardware you have for drivers.

Thats how an OS becomes viable. You buy it, you bug them, and updates arrive. =P

Why should I pay good money for something that is NOT going to work right away? I remember that old saw about MS compared to your new car. If you bought a new model and the electric windows didn't work, the seats didn't adjust, the transmission shifted poorly, it overheated, etc., you didn't say "I'll not complain; I'll wait until they fix these things and then take it to the dealer to have it repaired." No, you called it a lemon and demanded the dealer give you a new car or refunded your money. We the consumers shouldn't have to pay good money for a product and expect anything else other than for it to work. We shouldn't be MS's beta testers.
