But if the alternative is making all those PC users wait while the minority versions are developed, wouldn't that be just as bad (or worse)? One of the open-source software mantras is "release early, release often". The idea being that the sooner you can get _anything_ in the hands of real users, the sooner you can begin learning about how the product is really used, what's most important, and how it can be improved. If it makes you any feel any happier, consider the PC users as the guinea-pigs - testing the software so that the wrinkles have been ironed out by the time it is made available to the Mac/Linux cognoscenti ;) -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk Yahoo!
