BeMicro Platform support

What platforms can be tweaked to work and what is an absolute no-go? Will there be support for linux, win7_64, vista_64?

From experience at work, Altera does not really support 64-bit versions of windows yet, but we've been told that the next version of Quartus should support 64-bit windows and USB drivers in 64-bit windows. Don't expect a Bemicro driver until then.

I asked Arrow the question about Linux back on Jan 8th. I could not find a response in my inbox, so I don't think they ever responded. FTDI, which makes the interface chip, has Linux drivers and Altera has Linux support for the USB-Blaster, so this is probably more an Arrow question rather then an Altera one.
