Runrev should instead be publicising Revolution. And this means attending other than Mac-only events - unfortunate as it may be to Mac and Linux users, Win32 still massively dominates the desktop. The whole xCard/xTalk paradigm is virtually unknown to Win32 users/developers. This is where they need to market, and it is precisely the people in this market who need the opportunity to understand the xCard paradigm that the Starter Kit provided.Its not so often that I have to defend the RR marketing and distribution policy...;))
But you are talking here about a small company not Adobe, MM or M$. Do you have any idea how much money does this cost what you proposing...?
A small company like RR, can only go into an exactly defined niche and start crowing... It impossible to go to the whole world market against M$ .net, IBM, Borland and all this companies on the woldmarket. Even Adobe with a big marketing budget was not really able to get a "real" marketshare with Indesign against Xpress in 2 years. Example: in Germany they have checked award wining books, with what tool they have been layouted... It not represantativ for the whole world market but it shows haw difficult it is to go in occupied market. 48 or 49 from 50 books have been made with Xpress.
