Windows Vista won't support Visual Studio .NET 2003

Ok, so now we know that Windows Vista won't support VisualStudio .NET 2003.  Its interesting that when asked the question about Windows Vista running Visual Studio .NET 2003, a number of people from Microsoft answered the question by saying ".NET 1.1 is supported on Vista. "  This gave developers a false sense of security that Visual Studio .NET 2003 would run on Vista just fine.  It was only this past Tuesday that we learned differently.  I have since learned that there is a problem in some debugging scenarios and therefore, Microsoft chose not to certify Visual Studion 2003 as supported under Windows Vista.  If they had come out and said "Yes it works in most scenarios, but here are the few that it doesn't work in and why" I would have felt much better about the whole thing.  Instead, I felt like I was run through the political gauntlet of the 24*7 news groups and talk radio with people promoting their particular view and political agenda.  To make it worse, the announcement did not come until Vista is almost ready for shipment.  Next time folks, please tell me what is going on before hand.  I can understand upfront and honest mistakes,  I just feel a little bit used on this one.
