Yes, indeed - I invited them :-)

That's true - but consider also that it wouldn't be in Runtime's interest to
narrow all promotion to the cross-platform message. Cross platform is a key
product feature of Revolution, and it does it so very well. But if you are
also developing only for one platform that isnt the Mac, it shouldn't be
dismissed either as a solution.

There are Windows focused developers out there that have a negative gut
reaction (still) with products tightly associated with Mac. Whatever your
feelings about them, they still use the same type of currency as other OS
users :-)

One of the things I am very pleased about with releases after Revolution 3
was that Rev wasn't so tightly associated with the Mac. The more units that
sell, the better funded all Revolution development is.
