I had told myself I wasnt going to get in this thread because corel's comments, tho correct..and no PUBLIC statement has been made, they know damned good and well that what the suggested/planned changes are... All the retoric in the world will not change that. jval is correct in his interpretation of what is happening. the 40% is accurate in that is how many current brycers use 98/ME of the 40% that would be affected, 27% will NOT upgrade their OS just to run Bryce. I have no ill will toward corel. Its fine by me whatever they do. I can buy a new system at any time and if B6 does indeed support 98/ME, and not leave so many current users in the dust...I'll happily pop right out and buy a new system and lotsa other stuff and bt will undergo a huge overhaul and upgrade for the new features of B6. if it doesnt, then I'll just spend my money and time elsewhere. shadowdragonlord: the statement "..attention getting device more than anything" is exactly correct. It draws attention before the fact in attempt to make a change now. After it's coded, game over and all the complaining in the world will have no effect. and it all honesty, it may have no effect anyhow... However, as I can see you are insinuating that Im trying to draw attention to myself or my site, I have to say: make no implications that I am doing this for attention to bt.com or myself. Anyone that knows me, knows that such an implication from you (or anyone) is BS. BT
