Are you talking about OSes that aren't on the list? Or different versions of the
supported OSes?

For the latter, we use a variation on the following statement. It might be
overkill, but so far no-one has complained.

"[Company] supports use of the software versions documented in this manual with
release x.x of [product]. These software versions are the minimum versions
required by [company]. 

Release x.x does not support operating systems, databases, Web servers,
switches, or other software platforms that are not documented in this manual. 

[company] will support subsequent updates and service packs that are released to
provide corrections to a bug, defect, or problem for the software versions
documented in this manual, so long as those updates and service packs:

* Are guaranteed by the manufacturer to be backwards compatible with the
supported version."

Jane

* Do not include changes to core functionality or new features.

[company] recommends that you test all updates and service packs subsequent to
the supported versions in a development environment before applying them to a
production environment.
