This is mostly a gripe at IBM..........

Why do the Windows clients allow themselves to be installed on
non-supported OS/levels? or at least issue warnings?

My Windows folks (yes, they are being lazy and not reading all the
readme/docs), are constantly installing miss-matched/not supported clients
(i.e. 6.4 on W2K3 servers, which is not supported per
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21197133).  Then of
course, they can not be  downleveled.

When someone contacts me about issues with their client/backups and I say
"not supported combination of OS and TSM client level", their response is, "
*then why did it let me install it if it isn't supported on this OS*"
