Well, RSS is very easy to find, as you found that web site, there are a few other websites that list RSS, although, those other sites are all in other countries, Russia, china and so forth. the newer windows versions, CPS, is harder to come by on the internet, its out there but not as publicly available, mainly distributed through private exchanges, and such. I have seen motorola take action on there windows software when it shows up on the internet, if you happen to find a listing for some CPS software on ebay, watch it for a few days and usually motorola finds it and tells ebay, then ebay cancles the auction automatically, iv herd several accounts of that, even if your a dealer and your listing new software it will be taken off ebay withen a day or so of listing it. I have seen aucitons of radios and the person will include a copy of the programming software, but in all accounts of those, they were older not supported radios, that used the RSS (dos) programming software, and iv not seen motorola report that kind of auction, i however havent looked for auctions for just RSS and see if it gets reported.
>From what i can make of it all, motorola seems to not be as strict with the older RSS as they are with the newer CPS.
