How sad is it that users have to joke about features we were promised months, even years, ago? As always, hw should take this as a call to actually implement useful features, not an open-source pdf to text converter for which they charge $200. I'm not saying pdf support is not useful, but for the price of an sma or single upgrade, we should have had bt object exchange and Word 2007 support like hw said they would do years ago. What about multi-tasking on the apex, another thing they said the apex could now do thanks to ce6? Where is it?
