visa from German consulate for Austrian destination?

I was wondering if someone could help with this:

I am planning for a trip to Europe and availed a regular Schengen visa
from the German Consulate. Recently, due to a change of plans, I have
to fly first to Austria.

Will this be a problem for boarding for/landing in Austria?

I suggest you check with the consulate for a more definitive answer.
This suggests it could be a problem, but who knows, there may be posts
here from people who've done exactly what you propose without a
problem...

"According to the Schengen agreement, visas are also valid for Austria,
Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg,
the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
Please note, however, that you always have to apply at the consulate of
the country which is your primary destination.
If you intend to visit several of the above-mentioned countries but do
not have a primary destination, you should apply at the consulate of the
country which is your first point of entry."

I guess that nobody will question in Austria.. as they will assume the Visa
has been given according to rules.
Provided that you will respect the validity of Visa, nobody will question
you either when you fly out.
Nobody will ever be able to check where you have gone or where you have
been.. unless they check Hotels guest records.
The schengen area is like a big country.. so there no real border between
any of its members.

Pls note that as of janaury 2008, 9 new countries will join the Schengen
Space. Some of them will join Schengen before Christmas. Only Cyprus will
not join the Schengen area for a while.
