Is it a proper analogy to say Staroffice 7 won't run on Redhat 6.x?

Office 11 won't run on Win9x, says MS
Microsoft is kissing goodbye to Win9x users with Office 11. The product,
currently in beta, will require Win2k SP3 or XP, according to a posting,
reported here in Betanews, by Office 11 beta coordinators, who said that
stability and security were the reasons for dropping Win9x.
The move is, up to a point, understandable, although Microsoft will still
be subject to accusations that it's trying to force people to upgrade.
Windows 98 is already out of mainstream support, and the unlovable WinME
gets it at the end of next year, according to the big Microsoft lifecycle
list, and Microsoft really does want to leave the old 9x kernel behind it.
