That's true - but consider also that it wouldn't be in Runtime's interest to narrow all promotion to the cross-platform message. Cross platform is a key product feature of Revolution, and it does it so very well. But if you are also developing only for one platform that isnt the Mac, it shouldn't be dismissed either as a solution. There are Windows focused developers out there that have a negative gut reaction (still) with products tightly associated with Mac. Whatever your feelings about them, they still use the same type of currency as other OS users :-) One of the things I am very pleased about with releases after Revolution 3 was that Rev wasn't so tightly associated with the Mac. The more units that sell, the better funded all Revolution development is.
