Oh Man I hope they are not using an MS Compiler, C++. I have 5.0 of VisualC and it makes increadibly bloated code. .NET (7.0) is even worse. I hope they use something better then MS dev tools. Maybe they use Borland or Code Warrior. That would actually make more sense, since the mac and win versions are identical. Many companies that have identical software for multiple platforms tend not to use MS dev tools as they create code that is not too cross platform friendly. As for my ticks about: -Improved performance: does work better for some windows folks then 1.1 did, so the problems people are facing on the Win side are not affecting everyone. same goes for OpenGL. _Paul
