In order for Symantec to officially support a release, they have to test
that release (and continually test as updates come out).  Since WS is
not intended as a server, and does not include some traditional server
functions (e.g. an FTP server), I wouldn't expect Symantec to bother to
test.  Anybody seriously wanting to run the NetBackup server product
should be running on a server platform anyway.

I didn't check the compatibility chart, but I would expect both ES and
AS to be supported but not WS.
