Windows 2016 Server and CA Clarity PPM 15.6.1

[Milos Simek]

Hi

Does anyone know, why Windows 2016 server Standard or Datacenter editions are not supported in 15.6 and 15.6.1 or is it only typo in documentation?
In 15.6 "Specifications: Summary of Changes in Release 15.6" in nothing  about removing Windows 2016 Standard or Datacenter editions but only Windows 2016 R2 Standard or Datacenter are supported for 15.6 and 15.6.1. CA Clarity PPM.

Reason, why I am asking. Customer preffer 2016 as a MS Server and to have both Jaspersoft and CA Clarity on the same server for Dev and Sandbox env. But due to the reason, that Jaspersoft supports MS Windows 2016 and CA Clarity PPM supports MS Windows 2016 R2 from version 15.6 and later it will not be possible to do it.

The release notes are documented based on the platform where we have tested and if you see 15.6.1 


Now we have also written 2012 as compatible so in that essense 2016 will work and clarity hardly depend on the OS.

I understand that in order to support an OS you have to be fairly certain that there are no hickups and there is low probability for problems.
Could you please throw a little light to how and OS is tested.
