Cathrine - sorry you feel sad and disappointed on Christmas morning... Me, I intend on getting out of the house come noon today and not even thinking about computers, let alone 3d proggies. Next year at this time, I'll have a slobbering 11-month-old baby crawling around the house (and prolly trying to eat the tree ornaments), so I'm rather enjoying this quiet morning while the missus sleeps in :) There is good news about D|S, though; it will come out for free once the bugs have been squashed. It isn't a trick at all, nor was it intended to be any such thing; it's more of a way to get a big enough control group of testers without flooding the code monkeys with requests. This is common with many programs, right up to Microsoft (who performs their alpha testing via a select group of MSDN affiliates.) As for Kazaa, anyone inclined to use such a thing for programs can takes their chances (viruses, trojans, etc), but it would prolly be a lot safer, and still free, if they just waited until the stable version of D|S comes out. The brokers will get hold of it tomorrow at most (as Ghost mentioned), but they get to hammer on bugs and crashes, too. /P
