The changes to the Tiger kernel were well advertised for at least a year prior to shipping. These companies knew their products wouldn't work, so this is not a surprise. The Tiger kernel finally brings a solid KPI (Kernel Programmer Interface) that will provide better *future* software compatibility.

Every time Apple modified the kernel prior to 10.4/Tiger these extensions had the possibility of breaking. Once these companies update their products to use the KPI, they are guaranteed compatibility going forward.
