Well, perhaps this has the potential to get into a "Is so!"-"Is not!" 
type conversation :-) but I would hesitate to make such a generality. 
If a commercial developer doesn't like Studio because of its 
behavior, then it's either Enterprise, Studio + Express, or two 
Expresses.

Studio + Express doesn't sound so smooth, because they have different 
upgrade policies and you would either have to not update Studio so 
much or get a new Express often to keep up--so the price wouldn't be 
that great in the long run. Also, it's nice to really do the final 
compile on the platform too. So to me, if not for the splash screen, 
the two Expresses would look better than Studio.

I'm still not sure if any of that will affect me or not, depending on 
the new upgrade routes, I may be able to just do Enterprise instead, 
and so, no problem. But if I was new to Rev, or if the upgrade routes 
didn't work out, I would look hard at the Expresses before deciding 
on Studio. That's one reason why I made sure to voice my opinion on 
the promo screen.

The other reason I've already stated more than once, but I might add 
to it--since what you said brings up a good point related to it--that 
beside commercial software, promo screens aren't really acceptable 
for shareware either--not anymore. And if you look at the variety of 
products that use them right now, I think you'll see that they give 
an impression that does not match, IMO, what one should be purchasing 
with Rev Express. But enough said about that!

Thanks,
