I'm on 10.6.8

I just googled Mac OS 10.5 and it tells that was Leopard, I've heard a lot of negativity about Lion and even though I've recently upgraded to Lion and I'm not having many issues myself personally I know I had to part with £130 to upgrade Logic from 8 to 9 so it would work. I was a bit upset that that latest Mac OS didn't support Logic 8 as I bought that with my Mac 3 years ago..

So even though I'm happy using Lion, I think there's a few that would still prefer to use Snow Leopard..

OH NO!
I'm sticking to Vista and XP because my soundcard has reached end of life... Please Access don't send me shopping for a new one, I'm on a budget here... I hope I'm not a minority... if there's anyone in my situation please make yourself heard!

Windows 7 x64 here though I still use 32-bit Reaper + 32-bit versions of my plug-ins.

Last time I used XP on my main machine must have been in 2008 so at least 4 years ago, maybe close to 5. I skipped Vista completely.

First of all, I must say that seeing a lot of people using Win7/x64 with no problems is quite a counter balance to the BSOD thread.
Now, I'll take the risk of sounding like I'm trolling this thread, and I probably won't tell you anything that your R&D people don't already know, but I must get it off of my chest: While supporting old OS-s may seem fruitless in the short term, in the long term it forces you to design a better SW architecture, that will save you time when moving to the next OS (Win8 is already here). I'm talking about building your SW in levels such as OS independent driver logic, driver API translation wrapper, and then the driver API imposed by the DDK. I think your life is easier with the VST plugin, am I right? There are usually a lot less incompatibility issues to worry about in that level of SW. Just the usual crazyness of different DAW-s.
Anyway, I hope you see things my way, and keep on living up to your current reputation.

I'm using Windows XP 64, and I'm not going to upgrade my Windows.
Discontinuing the support for Windows XP would mean for me to stick with last driver/plugin version.

I've been on Windows 7 x64 for quite a while now.

Not important to me.

I use Windows 7 professional with Steinberg Cubase 5

I use Windows 7 SP1 X64 and OS X 10.7 now.
Probabily windows 8 as soon.
