Well I suspect it's priority is about 1 step above unsupported hardware at the moment because it's basically unsupported software :).

I'm sure it will become supported but it's going to be something to worry about in the last quarter of the year not now as Vista is in beta.. beta = will change and likely to be unstable = pointless trying to get something like secondlife stable on it.

Hardly needless Banter.. just highlighting the fact your unlikely to see anything in the near future.. now a Linden may come buy and contradict me but given they have rather more important things on their plate right now I doubt it.
