That's true. I'll quality my original comment by added, "Xtras not shipped
with the IDE or part of an update to the IDE".

In addition, my "WOW" comment was referring to the items more utilized as
nifty little features that allow marketing to really spin on. DVD Video
immediately pops to mind. That's not to say Director coders haven't put it
to good use -- they have -- but it also caused a huge misconception that
somehow Director could now be used as a DVD Video authoring tool (i.e., DVD
Studio, Encore).

And ain't that most baffling for a product that is ubiquitous to the web?
