Or alternatively, the OP can study his customer types and their interests
and concerns (since he said "all the usual questions" so he should have
known some), and in the mean time, also study/test the product and compare
it against older versions and competitive offers (e.g. Linux and Apple) and
ask technical professionals for any technical questions or issues that don't
make sense to him or intended users, and collect and study as many reports
and reviews as possible from reputable and neutral sources, and then
integrate all his knowledge to make well-founded recommendations tailor to
his customer types, interests/needs, and concerns.

So the OP has at least three options:

(1) A simple and quick "Yes" or "No" answer to his customers,

(2) Say "I don't know and ask someone else" as some suggested, or

(3) Do his homework at least as suggested like any top notch sakes/marketing
would have done.
