Both Schestowitz and the person who wrote the article seem to have a 
misunderstanding of what the term "supported" actually means.

It does *not* mean that something like CentOS or Mint Linux or <insert name 
of random 600+ distros> won't work.

It means that it's not officially supported. Microsoft will have to support 
customers who buy this product. There are certain OS's (like Suse) that this 
is certified to work with and that will be supported.

There is no way that MS can officially support every possible distro. Even 
VM-Ware doesn't claim to do that.
